They’re a lot of data you missed. Always is easier to talk bad. Do you know that only in costa rica, thanks to this people of fite nite, MMA is starting to be watched as an sport?. There is some information that ou should know, and if you want to writte an article with all this information, you can ask.

Thanks for the clarification! I had no idea about the refs. I’ve never heard of picking match-ups out of a hat. I’m not exactly sure I’d consider that fair, but it is certainly interesting.

Solano vs. Martinez will be a damn good fight. I am really excited about watching that one. Martinez seemed a bit winded but hopefully will have time to work on his metabolic conditioning.

I really did enjoy the fights a lot!

Thanks for taking the time to come to the event and taking the time to write this article. I just want to clear up a few points. The two referees are certified refs from the USA Troy Waugh and Steve Newport. Troy has covered UFC, IFL, bodog and most notibly the Petruzelli KO of Kimbo. I was as confused as you why Troy took 2 points from the Chilean but was happy that the decision was correct and he advanced anyway. I was extremely dissapointed with Steve taking a point from the Argentinian as he himself was kicked in the groin by the Chilean in the same round and no point was deducted. The final rightfully should have been Solano and Martinez. We have already signed that fight to take place here in September. hopefully you can watch the live Internet broadcast if you can’t make it down here. Also to note all the fighters names were selected out of a hat to determine match-ups at the weight-ins, thats about as fair as we could get. The referees we had at the event were from the USA and Canada as to avoid any possible “home town” decisions.

I would really like to have some womens bouts, but right now there is very little interest and experience level of the female fighters here in Costa Rica and it is too much of an expense to fly in both sides of a fight where no locals would know who they are.

I hope you enjoyed your experience at the event as we have been working really hard here in Central America to improve the level of the sport and create a place for MMA to be succesful.
