Our two fighters, Casey Malik and Drew Miller, fought hard and strong through their matches - both consisting of 3 rounds, each 3 minutes long. Though we didn't leave with victories, we still took a large step forward in training and Drew's debut fight was awarded Fight of the Night.

This was Casey's second time to step into the cage to try to add another win to his record. His three rounds consisted of a lot of grappling and were extremely intense. It was uplifting to hear multiple people in the crowd shouting his name and our city.
Drew and his opponent, David Kelly, both landing hits to the face.

Drew made his debut this past Friday and his match was the most ruthless of the night. All three rounds had everyone on their toes and riled up rooting for both opponents. The fight's intensity and excitement gave it the title of Fight of the Night - a great accomplishment for Drew in his debut.
Win or lose, American Fitness is still proud of both Drew and Casey in this step in their training as Martial Artists and look forward to see their improvement in their next fights in the upcoming months.
