VIDEO: Videos, Photos and Results for War on the Valley Isle

By Lisa Teichner

The first MMA event Maui has seen in over a year was held this past weekend at the War Memorial Gym. War on the Valley Isle featured 30 Hawaii fighters, many of them were from Maui but other islands were represented as well including Big Island, Oahu and Molokai. The event was 4 hours long, which may have been overboard for some but for those of us who are perfectly content to be eating MMA for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we say bring it on! It was the largest turnout of fans and supporters that we have seen in a long time which reflects how hungry our island is for some live MMA action.

Below are the fight results, pics and a couple of the bouts on video.
