The bugs have still not been worked out of the process of presenting a show yet for Combat Extreme, which promises a next event in January with Cody East, Tyler East, and Angelica Chavez on that card. The nights miscues ranged from no stoles for the fighters for between rounds, to no round cards for the ring girl, and heavy amounts of dirt being tracked into the cage, which had it’s own problems being set up. All in all the fighters fought hard, the bull and their riders put on a show, and the night was full of entertainment.
