The Night
Exhibition event
MMA, boxing, kickboxing and grappling in a full-size ring and a cage. A DJ between every bout, food on site, and a room that gets loud.
No drive to Charlotte, no arena parking, no nosebleed seats. Doors at five, first bell at six, and you'll be close enough to hear the corners.
Surface One
Full-Size Boxing Ring
Ropes, corners, canvas — a regulation ring set up in the gym. Ring bouts get the crowd on three sides.
Surface Two
MMA Cage
Our cage, the same one the Wednesday night crew wall-wrestles in. Matches are assigned to whichever surface fits the bout.
Co-Promoted
Three organizations, one card.
This isn't a one-gym smoker. Three rooms are putting fighters and people on this night, which means deeper matchmaking, better matches, and nobody stepping in against someone they shouldn't.

Partner Gym
Greensboro, NC
Twenty-five minutes down the road, One of the top MMA gyms in NC. Creating champion fighters every year.
Partner
Fight promotion
Running fight cards is what they do. Having them on this one means the night runs like a show.
On The Card
Four disciplines, one card.
Every bout is matched by experience and weight. This is an exhibition — nobody is building a professional record tonight, and nobody gets put in over their head.
MMA
Striking and grappling together. The full sport, matched carefully.
Boxing
Hands only, in the ring. Clean, fast, and easy to follow if you've never watched a fight before.
Kickboxing
Hands and feet. The most action per round on most cards.
Grappling
No strikes. Takedowns, position, submissions — a chess match at speed.
Watch It
Get your ticket before the door.
Doors open at 5:00 PM and the first bell is at 6:00 PM. There's a live DJ running the room between bouts and food on site, so come hungry and come early — the good spots go first.
This is a family-friendly room. Bring the kids who've been asking what their coach actually does.
- Live DJ between every bout
- Food and drinks on site
- Vendor tables around the floor
- Ring and cage both running
Vendors & Sponsors
Get in front of a full room.
A packed gym for a whole evening, three organizations promoting it, and an audience that bought a ticket on purpose. If you want a table or your name on the night, fill out the form and we'll talk.
Vendor Table
Sell on the floor
Gear, apparel, food, supplements, local trades — space around the floor from doors to last bout.
- Table space on the floor, 5:00 PM to close
- Your own setup, your own sales, you keep what you make
- Foot traffic between every single bout
Sponsorship
Put your name on the night
Local businesses have backed this gym since we opened. Fight night is the loudest room we've got.
- Banner on the ring or the cage
- Called out by the DJ between bouts
- Your logo on event graphics and social posts
- Named on this page
One form for both.
Tell us whether you want a table, a sponsorship, or both, and what you'd be putting in the room. We'll come back to you with space and pricing. Sooner is better — the floor plan gets locked the week of the event.
