Last night I attended a Wicktagon MMA show at Wick’s Pizza Parlor and Pub in Louisville, Ky.  New to PROMMA.INFO, I was not able to do a live blog as I usually do for shows, but I kept up with the action live-blog style.

Here is the play by play and results from last night’s show.

Pro fighter Rob Mooney is serving as tonight’s referee.  Mooney, having refereed various pro and amateur events for almost five years, holds the distinction of being one of the most experienced referees in the game today.  The number of fights he has refereed is in the thousands.  Fight Ribbon Clothing Company co-founder Brent Thompson is tonight’s ring announcer.
