In between fights, the Ring Girls from the Tampa Doll House would enter the ring and then the winner would be announced to the cheering crowd. During the 3rd fight I found myself really getting into the competition. I had always assumed that MMA was merely a street brawl but I learned that there is a lot of technique involved. All of the fighters were in superb physical condition weighing anywhere from 135-185. These guys must go through some intense training in order to be in that kind of shape.

In the center of the arena was an octagon shaped ring that was completely enclosed with chainlink fence. The ring was a cage with no roof and it was well illuminated by bright lights. To the left and right of the cage were the stands where the spectators were seated. The stands were so close to the stage that any seat in the house gave you a close up view of the action.

We paid $5.00 for parking and found the parking lots not very full. When we entered the arena I was pleasantly surprised by the scene before me. Remember, this was the first time that I had seen a MMA fight in person and I had never sat in front of the tv and watched a match either.

The match that everyone in the crowd was anticipating was the debut fight for former Tampa Bay Buccanner Marcus Jones. The crowd went absolutely nuts when the announces introduced Marcus Jones. I remember seeing Jones play on TV and I remember him being a monster with long dreads. When Marcus Jones entered the ring I was shocked at what I saw. He was still a monster, but now he was ripped and cut as if he was going to compete in a bodybuilding competition. My initial thought was " I feel sorry for the guy that has to get into the ring with Jones" When Jone's opponent entered the ring I felt that he had no chance simply because he did not have the size or power of Jones.

There was a professional style ring announcer who announced each fighter in a style similar to wrestling or boxing. Each fighter would come down a ramp from behind the scenes and enter the octagon for 3 rounds of fighting. The fighters wear very thin looking boxing gloves that gave the impression that they would not soften a blow to the face. The fighters wore shorts and no shirt or shoes. In MMA the fighters are able to kick, knee , elbow, & punch their opponents.

when the fight started it resembled a boxing match with both fighters holding their hands up in front of their faces as they moved around the ring. The fighter threw punches, kicks, and leg sweeps and the crowd would roar when I fighter landed a punch. After briefly throwing some punches the fighter began wrestling as they stood up with 1 fighter being taken down to the ground.

The arena was great and there were plenty of food and alcohol vendors for the spectators. There were also some MMA clothing vendors who were selling some pretty cool looking shirts. At this point in my night I was pleased with the experience and I was ready to watch a few matches.

I am glad that I attended this event which was well put together by the WFC and the Florida Fairgrounds was a nice venue. I now have a better understanding of MMA and will definately attend MMA events in the future.

The main event was a match between Brandon Sene and Ozzy Villanvera. Sene must be a WFC hero or something because everyone knew of him and the crowd cheered him to a quick victory. Sene was in the best shape of any fighter and he quickly took his opponent down and forced him to submit.

World Fighting Championship's Cage Wars V

The great thing about the event being held at the Florida Fairgrounds is that it is very easy to get there from any points around the Tampa Bay area. Another great thing about the location of the event was that it was nearby the Seminole Hard Rock Casino which is where many of the spectators and competitors went after the event was over.

I have never been interested in Mixed Martial Arts but I had the opportunity to go to the World Fighting Championship's "Cage Wars V" on October 26th, 2007. The event was held at the Florida Fairgrounds Expo Arena in Tampa at 8pm. A friend and I went and I figured this would be a good opportunity for me to see what all the buzz has been about this mixed martial arts stuff.

Marcus Jones has obviously been getting good training because he made quick work of his opponent who tapped out after he was taken to the ground an pummeled for 58 seconds. Marcus Jones was so excited about his victory you would have thought he had won the superbowl. He thanked his trainers at Gracie Tampa which I have learned is one of the premier places to be trained in the art of MMA.

Once on the ground, the action was slow as the fighter struggled in a manner similar to grecko roman wrestling. The majority of the fights ended soon after one of the fighters was taken to the ground. It seems that once you have your opponent on the ground, you move in for the kill by placing him in a submission hold until he signals that he is giving up by tapping his hand.
