Fight Night Entertainment (FNE) returned to the Nooksack River Casino located 15 miles east of Bellingham on the Mt Baker Highway for an outdoor MMA show on August 27th. This was the promotion's 10th show since starting out in Nov of '08 and its obvious to see that they are evolving in the right direction with solid production, great lighting, smokin' hot ring girls, and well-matched fights that delivers to fight fans all the excitement that live MMA has to offer.

 

For this particular show, 5 amateur and 4 pro bouts took place, including the first Pro belt that FNE has awarded. It was in the 135 lb weight class and was also the fight of the night as Omar Avelar & Freddy Arteaga threw down for 25 minutes in a war that had the crowd on its feet. Avelar definitely won the fight controlling and punishing Arteaga much of the bout, but Arteaga had no quit in him and showed enormous heart as he continued to battle to the very end. A standing ovation went to both fighters as the final bell sounded & both deserve high praise for their efforts.
