HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — Central Virginia's toughest amateur and professional mixed martial arts fighters squared off Saturday evening at the Hanover Vegetable Farm in a live cage fight hosted by the Bar Fights Fighting Championship (BFFC) organization.
Dozens of spectators turned out to watch 13 MMA fights featuring competitors from across the country.
Eric Ash, who owns BFFC, said the event exceeded expectations.
"We've got thirteen fights today, people from all over the country are coming in. The crowd's been going crazy so it's really awesome. Blown away by what they did with the facility and it was perfect, perfect day for it too," Ash said.
