All of you MMA (mixed martial arts) fans out there, get ready, as next weekend there will be a MMA Expo at the Blaisdell! What is it? It’s an expo that will include local fighters like BJ Penn and Niko Vitale, MMA schools, MMA stores, etc. There will be over 200 MMA and fitness exhibitors combined. This is definitely one of the largest expo’s I’ve heard of here in Hawaii, and dedicated to MMA.
This is also a good chance to check out the seminars, demonstrations, and competitions if you are thinking of being an active MMA athlete. They will also have a jiu-jitsu tournament with and without gi’s. Big names will show up including BJ Penn and his students, UFC’s Kendall Grove, Jeff Monson, Ross Tha Boss, and Egan Inoue. Several clothing lines are also attending such as Throwdown, Fokai, Da Hui, and Quiksilver, just to name a few.
The expo will be held at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall on June 27, 28, and 29. Admission will cost $7 for adults, $5 for military, $3 for kids 7-12 years old, and kids under 6 is free. You can also go to the entire 3 day event for $18, in case you want to visit each day for their individual events.
Stop by and support the first ever MMA Expo in Hawaii!
