Full Contact Talk: MMA discussion

For those unfamiliar with the local MMA scene in Atlanta, the massive Wild Bill’s entertainment complex located just outside downtown in Duluth on Interstate 85 hosts sanctioned MMA events nearly every month. Produced by David Oblas’ Undisputed Productions, the “Wild Bill’s Fight Nights” offer the top in MMA competition as well as occasional Muay Thai fights thrown into the mix for good measure.

Tonight’s fight card is stacked featuring Ultimate Fighter alumnus and UFC fighter, Jesse Forbes in a main event against local MMA star, Bernard Rutherford. Wild Bill’s puts on a top level production with bright lights, big sounds and equally big hits. And for about the same amount of money as going to a movie for two, local MMA fans can nearly get ringside for the same amount of cash. Go out and support the local MMA while having some fun and excitement in the process.

Wild Bill’s Fight Night 14, Friday, Sept. 19, 2008. Advance tickets are available through Ticket Master. Tickets are also available at the door. Wild Bills, 2075 Market St. Duluth, GA 30096. (678) 473-1000. Doors open at 8:30 PM.
