Queens Underground Show Postscript

I had to cut out early - I've been dealing with the flu and I needed to get to bed - but what I saw was at times entertaining. Some points: MAM's use of headgear will always be an issue. There's a reason no one, including the amateur leagues in New Jersey, uses headgear, and making MAM fighters wear them doesn't make these "exhibition bouts" any more legal in New York. Also, the officiating needs some work, but as unsanctioned underground shows go the promotion is chock full of potential and is giving a lot of traditional martial artists a taste of MMA, so kudos to them. As they don't want press there, Friday night's event will likely be the last event I cover. I do, however, wish them luck.
