The EFC: WARRIOR MMA Event is set for the Grand Ballroom at Trump Taj Mahal Casino Hotel in Atlantic City tonight.
"We
have our first female main event, which is the rematch of a sensational
fight," said event co-promoter Hani Darwish when talking about the card. "Plus we have two other title fights between some of the most
popular fighters in Jersey. The entire card is strong top to bottom and
the fans have acknowledged it by supporting the young fighters in this
event."
Darwish says he's happy to be working with the Taj Mahal to build this successful MMA series.
"The
Trump with their slot specials for ticket buyers and their overall
professionalism to work with has been wonderful. It truly is a perfect
situation to be in as a promoter and I'm very grateful. I'm looking
forward to another unforgettable event this Saturday.
