I have an outfit for EVERY occasion....I'll wear my Affliction shirt (the same shirt those UFC guys wear) and I'll throw in a big wad of chew

hmmmm I'm actually thinking overalls will have me fit in better....but I cant say I own that

sorry, no brewskis on sale at the fights...

(something about testosterone and liquid courage not mixing well)... the brewskis will have to wait until the afterparty...lol

and for the hard sell...

Hard hitting MMA action returns to Lynchburg for the first time since 2000, when current UFC light-heavyweight champ Quinton "rampage" Jackson fought and won in the Hill City.

Come support local fighters and guys from all over the east coast punch, kick and submit their way to the top.

Go to www.combatcupchallenge.com for tickets and more information!

Did i mention there were going to be ring girls? (oh right, i think i forgot that part...) silly me...

no Liberty Couple's here SuperJon!

just in yourface watchin somebody get ktfo'd in front of you.

and maybe,if you're lucky, you might even get to see an LU student (or two) compete against a VA Tech kid (or two...)

oh joy!!!

only $20 for Gen. Adm. and $30 for Reserved ($35 at the door if they are still available)...

is that a hard enough sell? should i try more?

man, after all of that, i should be in advertising... *sigh*

That's more like it, matshark.

But now that you have your advertising thinking hat on, why not do some audience analysis. Here on FlameFans we all tend to be connected to what institution? With that in mind, perhaps you could tailor your message to include more specifics about any LU ties.

Can you confirm any LU guys on the card?

trying to be a politician here...

i can neither confirm NOR deny any such rumblings...

guess you'll just have to show up to find out...

LETS GO LU!!!

i am NOT fighting on this card. i fought twice last year in roanoke.

A. too much stuff to do to try and get the first event off the ground and going successfully to try and train also
(4-5 hrs a day 5-6 days/week for 8 weeks to train properly)

B. i think it can appear shady when promoters set up the fights and fight on their own card...

i am planning on fighting in april or may... i'll keep you guys posted on that...

Ahh! Didn't realize you were the actual event promoter. I thought you were promoting it because you were fighting. Anyway, good luck with it.
