For fight fans and Las Vegas locals getting ready for the UFC International Fight Week, LION FIGHT is adding fireworks, Muay Thai style, to the week-long combat sports celebration (Pictured: Tiffany “Timebomb” Van Soest – Photo credit: Bennie Palmore).
Taking place LIVE on the Fourth of July from The Pearl at Palms Resort Casino, LION FIGHT 16 is carefully time-slotted so that fans can hit the UFC 175 weigh-ins, then head over to The Pearl for the start of the main card at 6:00 p.m. PT.
The LION FIGHT full Muay Thai rules event will conclude before sunset, in advance of the Fourth of July Fireworks displays.
