After a couple of COVID-related false starts, Bushido Fight Night made it’s debut at the beautiful Thornbury Theatre in Melbourne on November 27th.
The promotion is attempting a bit of a more traditional take on martial arts, complete with fighter uniforms for the amateurs and even an Eastern-style opening ceremony.
The card was a mix of pro and amateur contests, consisting of all local Victorian talent.
