SMASH Global, the most unique experience in all of combat sports returned on December 13th with SMASH VIII: Night of Champions. It was the organization’s eight event and each event keeps getting bigger and better. If you are unfamiliar with SMASH Global, imagine if the Oscars and the UFC had a baby. It is red carpet extravagance paired with pro MMA fights. It was an evening where Hollywood comes together to honor legends of both entertainment and combat sports. The honorees for SMASH VIII were Kyokushin blackbelt and Action star Dolph Lundgren, Hollywood Icons Lou "HULK" Ferrigno and Mickey Rourke, and Boxing Hall of Famer “Sugar” Shane Mosley. If the line up of honorees were not enough, the event was capped of with four championship fights.
