FightZone TV To Sponsor Art Of Fighting Expo and Major Event At Florida State Fair
FightZone TV is proud to announce they have joined Art Of Fighting (AOF) MMA Fan Expo and AOF 11 "Fusion" as an Official Sponsor. This historic event will be held during the closing weekend of the 13 day, 107th Florida State Fair in Tampa, FL on Friday and Saturday, February 18th and 19th, 2011. The Fair averages a little over 500,000 attendees for the event and generally around 80,000 Fairgoers go through the turnstiles on the closing weekend.
In support of the event, FightZone TV will air TV commercials nationwide as well as future national TV airings of the fights.
"Fusion" will be the 11th major MMA event held by Art Of Fighting in Florida. Promoter, Nathan Smith, commenting on the growing mainstream popularity of the sport says "Art of Fighting has stayed true to its Florida roots and is now hosting the first ever MMA Fan Expo held during the Florida State Fair. We wanted to bring something to MMA fans in Florida that will help grow the sport in our state and reward loyal fans with a great experience."
Continues Smith, "Fair Authorities were looking for a way to add more young adults to their demographics, and what better way to do that then hosting an event of this magnitude. This Expo is going to be a lot of fun for kids and maybe even more fun for adults who have been following the sport for years."
The Expo will feature live demonstrations, celebrities, seminars, MMA merchandise, autograph sessions, games, Weigh Ins and more. It is free to enter and includes Free Parking with the purchase of a ticket to the Florida State Fair. Top stars in the sport will be on hand to sign autographs and give demonstrations. A list of demonstrators will be on the AOF website under the "Events" section. The Expo will be topped off with a well rounded professional fight card which will take place inside the Entertainment Hall on the Fairgrounds on Saturday February 19 at 7pm.
The full fight card and details are available on AOFMMA.com. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the Fair and other select locations. Fighters on the card include returning AOF winners Dave "Pay Me" Yost, Edson "Little Tiger" Berto, Jim Alers, Christiano Souza, Angelica Brotherton and more. Schedule subject to change.
