The 559 Fights promotion held their monthly fight show at the Visalia Convention Center this past Saturday, November 19th as 18 fights (22 with grappling included) were put on display for valley MMA fans from areas of Visalia and beyond. From the original start time of 7 p.m. all the way to the last fight of the night ending at 11:45, fans were on their heat for match after a match.

There were three title fights for the evening, with one of the title fights in particular being a grappling super match. The tagging of the terminology “super match” meant that slams were allowed in the match for points toward the overall scoring of the game, something that is not a staple in all grappling matches.
