Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the AFO event in Grantham this past Saturday night, but the crew from AFO was kind enough to send over this review of the event.

The AFO and its crew invaded Grantham NH Last night for another great show! Brand new mma fans got to witness for the first time some of the best local MMA talent in the area, and they were not disappointed!! What might have been the best card the AFO has put on to date, fans got to see the return of Paul Gorman after a one year lay off against a remarkable Jason Bennett. Gorman had a great game which gave in the victory late in the second round.

There were several great KNOCK OUTS that had the crowd on their feet, and a war between DJ and BJ which clearly was the fight of the night. These two fighters showed great heart and sportsmanship before, during and after the fight. There was a Michael Jackson entrance that will not be forgotten by Bonnell – Several Great new fighters and the presence of Mr. Mark DellaGrotte in the Building.

Below are the official results. Tickets for Thanksgiving Massacre, November 25th 2009 – Which is the Super Bowl for the AFO are on sale now through the website or by phone. Proceeds that night will feed 100 families of 4 Thanksgiving dinner.
