A PEAK INTO THE CAGE BY KARA HUMPHREY

Over the past few decades, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has quickly risen in popularity, drawing audiences from diverse backgrounds and cultures worldwide with its combination of striking and grappling techniques. Blending disciplines such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, and boxing, MMA has created a sporting phenomenon that has demolished traditional boundaries. As fighters showcase their skills in the cage, the appeal of MMA continues to grow, making a place for itself in Texarkana through Peak Fighting Championship (PFC), a locally owned and managed MMA promotion. As PFC solidifies its reputation in the world of MMA, it continues to attract not only dedicated local fans, but is becoming a force to be reckoned with on an ever-growing national stage.

We sat down with Wes Humphrey, PFC’s Director of Business Development, to find out more.
