After the last Sportfight there were rumors that fans would have to wait until September for the next event. Since my last trip they’ve expanded quite a bit, adding a hotel, gas station and event center. It had been a while since I had been to the Spirit Mountain Casino. All be told, the trip down to Spirit Mountain Casino wasn’t all that awful a few tunes from a friend’s iPod and a sunny afternoon made sitting in the car a lot more bearable. Would it be worth the trip? As the traffic started thinning out around Sherwood my optimism began to return. I was now schlepping all the way to Grand Ronde, Oregon to catch the Mixed Martial Arts action. Sportfight previously held their events at the Rose Garden, a mere five minutes away from my home.
I was on my way to Sportfight at the Spirit Mountain Casino and a supposed hour and forty five minute drive was looking to be a much longer and harder trip. “I knew we should have left earlier”, I said as I was gritting my teeth in bumper to bumper traffic on the 99W.
