I love AFC! I go every month and it is totally worth it! Ive been attending for a few years and I love seeing the fighters progress and get better and better. Its amazing how the skill level and quality of fighters has increased as AFC progresses. MMA is my favorite sport and i consider the AK lucky to have such a sick event in our own home town!
I have been going to AFC since AFC III, some nights are more exciting than others but always is great entertainment. It is a great thing for fighters around the state. Look where it got a fighter on the Ultimate Fighter!! Go AFC and go local AK fighters!!!
It was a good time, with good fights! Hard to believe Alaska has an MMA fight league of this quality. Keep it up, I'll be back!
It was an overall great night, but the fights weren't all that exciting until the last few matches. Too much dancing around and not enough fighting.
THE FIGHTS ON JANUARY 18TH WERE THE LAMEST FIGHTS I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I'VE BEEN TO QUITE A FEW OF THEM SO FAR. VERY DISAPPOINTING!@! :(
The first six matches of this event were bad, over too quick or not much action. The match between the two 46 year old men making their debut was a joke. Except for the main event I felt like I was attending a satire of the UFC
Was good fun, not really a bad seat in the house. The Boys put on a good show
The event was amazing!@! I went with a few of my friends, we all bought our tickets last minute and was able to still get really good seats. All in all it was a great experience for everyone involved. I highly recommend going to go see some fights in the near future with more friends.
Good fights for a good price. Can't wait until the Sept fights.
I don't normally post, but I have to strongly disagree with the previous comment. I have attended the AFC from it's very first event and several in between and the talent pool is getting stronger. Alaska Fighting Championship has some highly trained MMA fighters which I believe are a direct result of the AFC having a presence these past few years, providing a stage for them to showcase their talents. The talent is reaching levels where some of these fighters are traveling to more venues in the lower 48 to compete in large market areas. I've also noticed more high caliber fighters from the MMA world flying up here and fighting in AFC events. One thing that drew me in to MMA with the early days of the UFC was the fact that you got to see different disciplines of fighting matched up against one another. (ie wrestler vs. boxer) Over time, fighters began to be more well rounded and it became more difficult to decipher stronger skill sets in different areas from fighters. What I like about the AFC is you can see the distinction in fighter disciplines in the earlier matchups on the fight card. When you watch for that it becomes even more intriguing. The AFC is one of a kind in Anchorage and the shows they put on continue to get better and more elaborate. I have become a big fan because of their consistency in building a better product and the fact that they are establishing a sport in Alaska by working with many gyms around the state (Gracie Barra, etc). You only have one event a month to see it, and there is nothing like it in Alaska. Hands down, absolutely worth the price of admission!
I have been attending the AFC for over a year. I find most of the fights are entertaining and well worth the money. While you will not confuse most the the fighters with the folks in the UFC, there are some excellent fighters who really give their all. I have tremendous respect for each of the men and women who enter the octagon and do battle. I attend with my son and daughter (17 and 20). We have a great time and have developed favorite fighters, some of whom do not win very often, but show tremendous heart and courage.
Some AFC fighters lost energy in the first round so it was obvious they were out of shape and not training properly. Most of the fights ended up on the floor when was uneventful. The refs had to make the guys stand up a few times so they wouldn't just stay on the floor in a hold for the entire round. The cage girls were NOT attractive at all and kind of trashy looking. This event is ok if you are wanting to see certain fighters but otherwise kind of boring.
