Zombie MMA Fight: "A Denver based Mixed Martial Arts promotion is hosting a unique event in October with one central theme; ZOMBIES.
Promoter Seth Daniels of Fight to Win MMA, attributes the idea to his own love of the horror genre and certain local fighter’s devotion to the zombie culture. After seeing that a number of fighters have expressed their love of zombie movies, books and the increasingly popular ‘crawls’ that are popping up around the Colorado area, Daniels created the fight card to tie in with their interest and the upcoming Halloween holiday season.
The event will include a $1000 costume contest, free beer for those that come dressed as a zombie, and a number of surprises that only Fight to Win MMA can provide. The event is October 21, 2011 at 7pm at the National Western Complex."
