FFC’s stated mission, according to its website, is to “encourage self defense, high-quality sportsmanship, fitness and nutrition, and engage in the fight against bullying across the Northwest.”
The FCC mission goes on to say that it aims to shift the perception of MMA from “backyard brawls and bar fights to experiencing top athletes fully connect with mind, body and spirit and go toe-to-toe in the cage.”
Tickets for the fight are available at Ticketmaster. Pay-per-view is available on the FFC website.
