For any UFC or MMA fans out there, take note: some of the area's premier up and coming fighters will be taking place in "Fight Night In The Flats 3 downtown tomorrow night, and my cousin will be there bearing press credentials to cover it for us. On the card? Dan Bobish of Mike Trivosonno Show fame. UFC vet Jason Dent. And Madison High School grad John Hedges in a super heavyweight scrap. The Spoon Man previews the event.

Once in awhile you find yourself saying "This I have to see."

Saturday night at the Plain Dealer Pavillion in downtown Cleveland is one of those events for me. Mixed Martial Arts is growing into one of the biggest sports in the world. It is also one of the most watched. I will be watching up close and personal and I honestly can't wait.

There is going to be sixteen fights in all and a few local UFC vets on the card.

The main event will feature Dan Bobish taking on Nate Eddy in a Super Heavyweight bout. Jason Dent, who operates Team GriffonRawl in Mentor, will being fighting as well. He takes on Mike Bogner in a 155 pound matchup. Dent was on the UFC 68 card in Columbus.

Another local fighter, John Hedges, who attended Madison High School will be stepping in the cage. He takes on Norm Carriero in a Super Heavyweight tilt.

The card is filled with local talent and is going to be a treat for fight fans from all over.
