NORWICH – The Canasawacta Country Club in Norwich is proud to welcome Gladius Fights, a MMA and kickboxing sports league, to its pavilion on Saturday, June 21st with a stacking fight card, including local wrestlers from Chenango County. This will be the first time that the Norwich community will get to witness the growing MMA and kickboxing sport.

“We are super excited to be hosting this event,” Owner and General Manager of the Canasawacta Country Club, Tim Carson said. “There is been a lot of positive buzz about it here in Norwich and we’re happy to be bringing it here.”

Carson added that the clubhouse food and beverage staff will primarily serve the event, so the clubhouse will be closed, but golf operations will go on as normal.

The doors open at 11 a.m. with youth fights beginning at noon before the live kickboxing and MMA championships begin. There will be a total of 10 cards/fights. The event will also conclude with two professional kickboxing matches for local professionals to the area Zach Burhans of Homer, NY and Matt Almy from Norwich, NY.

Tickets for the event can be purchased at the door starting at $40 but can be purchased ahead of time at www.gladiusfights.com. Be sure to include the fighter’s name that you are supporting because they do get a percentage of ticket sales.
