The Fight Expo - Gina's Role
« on: February 27, 2009, 07:12:01 AM »
A massive two-day Mixed Martial Arts and Extreme Sports extravaganza, “The Fight Expo,” is coming to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, the weekend of March 21-22, in Del Mar, California.

“The Fight Expo” is the first event of its kind, infusing MMA, Grappling, Pankration, and several Extreme Sports — Motocross, Skateboarding, Harley Davidson Pulls and much more — into one giant entertainment supershow. “The Fight Expo” has chosen The Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego as its beneficiary with portions of proceeds from every ticket sold, charity auctions, and MMA seminars going to this worthwhile cause.

UFC announcer, Bruce Buffer, “The Voice of the Octagon,” has joined the team to create a very special event for five Make-A-Wish children suffering from life threatening illnesses, which will include the children being escorted around by American Gladiator and the World’s Most Famous Female Fighter, Gina Carano, as well as getting publicly introduced by Bruce Buffer as Honorary Fighters in the Cage. They will also have an opportunity to meet their favorite MMA Superstars from a group including Brandon Vera, Joe Stevenson, Jake Shields, Cung Le, TUF Season 8 finalist Vinny Magalhães, Eliot Marshall, the Tapout Crew (Punkass, Mask and Skrape), Dean Lister, and many more.

For Grappling and Pankration fans, “The Fight Expo” will host the 10th anniversary of Grapplers Quest Competition with 300 Submission Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Divisions, plus two mega-Superfight Divisions to crown The World’s Best Submission Fighters, totaling $25,000 in prizes.

Bud Light presents the Pankration Team Battles on Saturday night (Mar. 21), pitting two military teams, 29 Palms vs. Camp Pendleton.

Greg Jackson, coach of UFC champions Georges St. Pierre and Rashad Evans, will be conducting the inaugural 100% Make-A-Wish Charity MMA Seminar on Sunday (Mar. 22) for MMA fighters and fans.

Other event highlights include G.I. Joe star and world famous model, Channing Tatum, and other stars from the upcoming Rogue Picture’s film release, “Fighting,” 100+ exhibits selling top MMA clothing, nutrition and health products; special area for women including the “Chic Boutique,” which will have clothing, jewelry, massage therapists and an “elite” dating service; as well as the Grappling Hall of Fame award presentations by Grapplers Quest.

Proceeds from every ticket sale will benefit fundraisers for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of San Diego.

Thats pretty cool. Why don't you post it up on the front page so more people know about this event? sounds newsworthy to me.

You're able to post articles now right?

I logged into the main site and clicked on the "article submission" link, but I can't seem to do anything from then on. It gives me the sidebar, but there's nothing else there?

I'll post it up for ya and give you credit for finding it. If you'd like to post up articles in the future, please contact Jen and ask her to add you to the list of potential publishers (subject to her approval).

PLease be on the lookout for any new photos or media about Gina at the Fight Expo. Let me know about them or post em up as an article.

I would look myself but ive been avoiding MMA sites lately due to Sengoku 7 spoilers which i havent watched yet.

She called the Wish kids her "little boyfriends"; can I get a "aaawwwe"

Good to hear she's training hard off fight camp. I wonder what kinda detox program she did. Unless she's a drinker I haven't heard of any kind of detox w/out being a smoker too, and she doesn't smoke.
