American Fighting Organization has released the full fight card for Friday’s event—though they appear to be trying to add one more match.

The organization posted the following on Facebook: “Is there a 125-140 Lic fighter out there?? Must all ready have an active Pro licence in Ma wanting to get in the cage Friday night?? Timing is everything!”

We’ve already had a bit on Soap Am’s strong start out of the gate, but we found this video today over at WesternMassMMA.com.

This is the first round of 145lb tournament hosted by Premier FC. This took place on April 1st, 2012 at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, MA. This battle is between Mike Wicks from Pin2Win and Soap Am from Team Pradal Serey. It won submission of the night award in our review. Great ammy debuts from Soap Am!

The New England Mixed Martial Arts Expo will visit the Fore Kicks Recreational Event Center in Marlborough on May 12.

The event will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and include more than 20,000 square feet of vendors and attractions.

Organizers have put together a grappling tournament which will run throughout the day at the event, and MMA schools will be present “for information, instruction and some fan participation,” according to Northeastmma.net.
