3/28: Shogun II, The Next Big Thing

BALTIMORE, M.D. - One of the most entertaining sporting events in Maryland this year had everything, almost. Shogun Fights II, a mixed martial arts event held at the 1st Mariner Arena, was a follow-up to the highly praised Shogun Fights event headlined by Promoter John Rallo.

Rallo’s Shogun Fights II boasted a thrilling, well-run event that included some of the East Coast’s brightest underground talent, starting with a large crop of athletes from locally in Maryland. The event also had a classic high-level fight ambiance to it, beautiful women, a dichotomy of family fun and “boy’s night out”, star power and the winningest Olympic athlete ever in Michael Phelps—you know, the minimum for a great event.
