MGM you need more bars at the Theater for events, my wife and I had to leave the venue to get drinks at your sports bar Tap then come back to the fights because the lines for the 3 bar were so long.
This was our 3rd time at the Shogun Fights. My husband and I really enjoy watching the fights. This time we took our boys (ages 8 - 12) and they also enjoyed. The event is well organized. The staff at the arena are very friendly and the facility is clean.
Loved the experience this was my second time attending. Love how Binky involves the kids in his entrance. To me it shows they are the future and he's embracing the opportunity to use his talent to pass it on to them. Get well soon Ryan!!
My teenage son and I watch MMA on TV all the time, and this was our first live event. It was a good time. A bit of background, my older son loves pro wrestling and we've been to many independent and WWE shows. The vibe at Shogun Fights was a cool mix of independent wrestling, high school sports, minor league hockey and may even a bit of dirt track stock car racing. The production was first class -- shockingly good. We had been to a WWE show the week before, and I have to honestly admit that I enjoyed the entrances and music better at Shogun. The sound system was incredible. However, keep in mind that Shogun does not claim to be family friendly so be prepared for some NSFW language in many of the entrance songs. That said, one of my favorite moments was seeing a couple different groups of kids posing for photos with one of the fight winners up in the cheap seats where we were seated. Throughout the night, you could see many of the fighters casually talking to people out by the concessions. The show was long, finishing after midnight. Plenty of value there. One big difference that we discovered from pro wrestling is that there is a much bigger benefit for getting the more expensive seats. Our cheap seats weren't bad, and the sight lines were pretty good (especially with the movie screen giving you a second perspective). But you don't get nearly as much of the full effect from the cheap seats in MMA as you do for WWE, where the moves are designed to project to the top of the arena. There really is a huge difference in your ability to appreciate what the MMA fighters are doing when you are closer. I've heard people say the same thing about boxing. One word of advice, DON'T drive to the arena, use transit. Not only is the parking expensive, it can be a hassle getting there, especially if the Orioles are playing a home game at the same time. Since we stayed over for the night to do some sightseeing the next day, we experimented with the Light Rail since there is a station literally at the front doors of the Royal Farms Arena. Super cheap and convenient. From now on, we'll park up the line at a commuter lot and take the light rail. Easier and it saves us about $15
Did not agree with some of the decisions on a couple of the fights. Does not appear from the audience they did not agree either.
I have been to Shogun fights in the past but this time around there were 13 total fights including 2 title fights. There was plenty of action. The video monitor was great you could see all the action from any seat in the house. Everything from the fighter's entrance to replays of all the knockouts & submissions was shown. This was my Sons first time at a shogun fight & he had a great time. We were in bleacher seats down on the floor with a perfect view of the action...
Awesome evening. We were able to see the fight clearly from the 200 section, and we had seats in 108 that offered an up close view. We went to watch match 12, Jon Delbrugge vs Micah Terrill, but enjoyed them all.
Showgun Fights put on a great show and I would definitely come again. The music was a little to loud and I grew up with Heavy Metal at Hammerjacks in the 1980's. As far as Royal Farm Arena the food SUCKED and was expensive. I don't mind paying expensive prices just make is good.
The Shogun shows are always loaded with all pro fights including lots of local talent along with fighters from much larger well known camps from around the world - no seat in the RFA is bad either.
