tickets are still available. “It’s a closed cage, an octagon cage. The bouts will be three to five rounds, three and five minute rounds. The heavyweights are the heaviest fighters on the card at 205 pounds plus. There are about eight local fighters on the card, the rest are from other states. Edwin Taylor of Erie, Pennsylvania, a local fighter, is fighting for the 185 pound MMA Pennsylvania State Middleweight title. The Thanksgiving crowd is very loud and energetic! The Thanksgiving (sporting) event has been a big event in Erie since the 1980s with the boxing cards, mainly, traditionally. Somebody else did them, but my family was always involved fighting on the cards (Ernie is related to famed boxers Lou Bizzarro and Johnny Bizzarro). It went away, then I brought it back. I did one boxing show, and this will be my second MMA show (on Thanksgiving).”
