Big time.

These events carried insane expectations –– 247 Fighting Championships' first cage grappling event, first back-to-back grappling-MMA show, etc. etc.

They met them all.

Nah, scratch that. They exceeded them all.

From the first matchup Friday at Sprawl in the Burgh to the final bell Saturday at Brawl in the Burgh 17, these athletes and teams delivered action-packed showdown after action-packed showdown, bringing the Monroeville Convention Center crowd to its feet.

Yeah, it ruled. And there was plenty to discuss in the aftermath.

You're going to want to snag a beverage and settle in for this one, friends.
