Hardrock MMA returns to Shepherdsville this weekend (9/3/2011) for "Hardrock MMA 40" at the Paroquet Springs Conference Center (395 Paroquet Springs Drive | Shepherdsville, Kentucky 40165) but all of the before-and-after festivities will take place in Louisville. The Sports & Social Club at the "Fourth Street Live!" Entertainment District will serve as the venue for the Hardrock MMA 40 weigh-ins on Friday night and the S&SC will host the after party for the event on Saturday night.
All of the fighters will be heading down to Louisville's premier sports bar on Friday, September 2, to fill out their paperwork and to weigh-in for the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Authority to make sure all of the formalities are taken care of before Saturday's event. The weigh-in event is open to the public and all fans are encouraged to come and support all of the local fighters in attendance. There will be food and drink specials all night long just for the MMA fans, beginning at 7:00PM.
Hardrock MMA 40 is a local MMA event showcasing local fighters in over 20 professional and amateur bouts. Louisville's Josh "The Pitbull" Blanchard (Bad Dog MMA) headlines the fight card against Chad Deener (E-Town Beatdown). Louisville's Bad Dog MMA will also have several fighters competing on Saturday night. The Core/Louisville MMA Fight Team will also have several fighters on the card and Martin "Madman" McShane also returns to the cage on Saturday night as he is set to face Michael Gay in a Light-Heavyweight matchup. You can still buy tickets for the fights online or at the door.
