Flying knees, heavy punches and elaborate limb twisting have made mixed martial arts one of the nation's fastest-growing sports attractions, but Maryland has steered clear of the spectacle - until now and Submission Effects is sponsoring it!
The state's first sanctioned mixed martial arts card, made up mostly of local fighters, is scheduled for Oct. 24 at 1st Mariner Arena, according to Patrick Pannella, executive director of the Maryland State Athletic Commission. The event will be the culmination of a long battle by local trainers and fans to gain acceptance.
You can expect to see every fighter wearing fight gloves by SFX. These are going to be custom gloves made just for this event. You will also notice that the staff will be wearing Submission Effects shirts too.
