Bringing MMA to Campus

V3 Fights recently held an event at Newby's on Highland Avenue, next to the University of Memphis campus. It was a very successful event, nearly a sell out. The main draw was, as usual, the main event of the night. But it was even more special at this event because the main event featured a U of M student, Tim Galluzzi. And wouldn't you know it, before a packed house of his peers, he won in a great fight.

Leading up to the fight, I wrote a press release about the student's involvement in the match, my colleague and V3 Fights founder and president, Nick Harmeier submitted the release to the editor of the Daily Helmsman, the school paper for U of M. They were so interested in the event, they wrote a two page story called CroMag and Chaos Cagefight Tonight. Click the following link to read the story.
