The last person I had the chance to speak with after the recent was ICF promoter Steve Stanton.
As usual, Stanton took some time out of his busy post-show duties to talk to me. Check out what he had to say about his thoughts on the show as well as the ICF’s plans for a huge offering of MMA shows around the tri-state area during the coming months. FightTicker.com: Steve Stanton, ICF Promoter – first show back at Turfway since your show at U.S. Bank Arena – what did you think of the show tonight Steve Stanton: They were good fights from the beginning to the end. I couldn’t be happier. FightTicker.com: How do you feel coming back to Turfway Park Stanton: We did good. I’m happy. We had a good crowd, probably about 800 people. There was an I.C.E. event tonight we were competing with, and they’re good guys. I’m happy with how everything went. FightTicker.com: Lot of action, lot of blood in the FightTicker.com Fight of the Night, Dave Heidorn vs Brandon Dumastas – what did you think of that fight Stanton: Man, that was a battle, those guys really did deserve Fight of the Night. But there were a couple of other fights that were right there, too – lot of good fights tonight.
FightTicker.com: Luke Zachrich headlined tonight – you’re continuing this trend of bringing in these bigger name fighters even when you’re not at U.S. Bank Arena – what other shows do you have coming up and what do you have in store for us
