A good example is violence....yes I said that correctly. Smyrna is the site of a small gathering of fighters and if you make plans, you can go and see people kick the crap out of each other....legally. On the south side of town heading towards Murfreesboro is Hoopstown. Known for the site of amateur basketball and good health, it also was recently the site of a Mixed Martial Arts fight night, and another is planned for early next year. Last year the Murfreesboro Post did an article on the MMA fights that were planned. I missed those fights and this years fights.
Tirado likes to call himself a “hybrid” fighter, in which he could end the fight in many different ways including knocking them out by striking with the feet, knees, elbows or punches or using the ground game to put a submission move and making his opponent tap out.
He will join several of his teammates from Nemesis Gym as part of the MMA fight card that will take place Saturday night at Hooptown USA in Smyrna.
This years fight happened in September, and here are two videos from that night. I would warn you that the videos shows violent acts, but the subject matter should already imply that fact already.
The fights are put on by Rival Cage Fights and they already have another date scheduled for next year in February. I know that I will try to make it out there. Smyrna has a lot to offer people and this is just one facet of a rich community.
