It was the best extreme fighters from around the Tri-cities battling in action packed mixed martial arts in a steel cage at the Westown in Bay City, Thursday night, February 21, 2008.

Coppler said, "The cage fights were great, Scott Baker Band Rocked, the Deja Vu Girls were very entertaining, Bubba from Tri City Cycle sold a bunch of raffle tickets to benefit Camp Fishtails."

Coppler added, "That is what Bay City is all about, a good time had by all, while helping out a local charity in a big way!"

Judging the 7 bout event were Robert Arsenault, Matt Maciag and Brandon Arsenault. Referee was boxer, Matt Eckerly.
