What a backdrop in Missoula with a beautiful baseball field (home to the Paddleheads), the mountains in the background, and the Clark Fork River just past the outfield on a perfectly sunny, warm weekend in the garden city. Great Falls and Havre are right around the corner...

Alright, I won't give you all the details just yet- but let's just say that I WILL be stepping into the octagon for the Fusion Fights at the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse this Saturday night in Bozeman.

A crew of Montanans tagged along with Anthem Snacks, the official jerky of the UFC, to attend UFC 300. We also got to get an inside look at the UFC's Performance Institute facility.

Check out the knee to the face. Helena, Montana's "Suga Sean" O'Malley retains his title as the UFC bantamweight champion during UFC 299 in Miami.
