July 4th !!! Family , food , fun in the sun, and a fireworks show at night. That’s what we all do on the great holiday across America , but what is now becoming a tradition during this time of year. Is international fight week culminating with one of the biggest fight cards of the year. And this year they gave us a doozy. Two title fights and a grudge match we have all been waiting for. This card is stacked from the first sparkler to the last firecracker in the bag. Jones vs Santos , Nunes vs Holm and Masvidal vs Askren , just these 3 fights is worth the price of admission and the seven beers your gonna buy. But to add a undercard that riddled with superstars like Michael Chiesa , Diego Sanchez and Gilbert Melendez it is now must see TV. Today we have a few special guest picking with us. We have fightbananas.com website manager Michael Kmetz , #1 ranked 170 lbs Amateur MMA fighter in Florida and our writer of “Path of Pugulist” series Chris “Mighty” Mixan, and it wouldn’t be complete without a member of our armed forces ,which makes our freedom possible, Drew Van Auken or Army Drew as we call him.
