Attention all fight fans, adrenaline junkies, and action enthusiasts! Get your calendars marked, because FightCon is coming to the Mountain America Expo Center in Utah on October 5, 2024, and it’s about to bring the heat! If you’re a lifelong fan of combat sports or someone who’s simply curious about the world of fighting, this event is the can’t-miss experience of the year.

What Is FightCon?

Think of FightCon as the Comic-Con of the combat sports world—but instead of cosplayers and comic books, you get fighters, trainers, and everything under the sun that celebrates martial arts, MMA, boxing, and more. It’s like stepping into a world where you don’t just watch the action, you live it. From intense live fights to meet-and-greets with some of the biggest names in the industry, this event is set to knock you out (in the best way possible).

What makes FightCon even more exciting is its interactive nature. This isn’t just an event where you sit on the sidelines watching others—this is where you get involved. Ever wanted to learn how to throw a knockout punch or perform a slick submission move? Here’s your chance! With live demos, hands-on training sessions, and panels with elite trainers, you’ll leave FightCon with new skills, new stories, and, if you’re lucky, maybe even a new sparring partner.

Why You Should Go (Even If You Don’t Know a Jab from a Hook)

Okay, so maybe you’re not a die-hard UFC fan (yet), or maybe the idea of watching two people pummel each other into oblivion isn’t exactly your thing. But FightCon has something for everyone.

If you’re a parent like me, I know what you’re thinking: Is this really something I can bring the kids to? Well, FightCon has got that covered too. This isn’t just about hard-hitting action—it’s about education, discipline, and the amazing benefits of combat sports for both adults and kids. Martial arts is a fantastic way for children to build confidence, learn self-defense, and develop respect and focus. Plus, there’s plenty of family-friendly activities, from kid’s grappling matches to safe, supervised introduction classes to various martial arts disciplines. It’s the perfect place to introduce your little ones to the idea of strength and discipline in a way that’s both fun and exciting.

What Can You Expect?

Let me paint a picture for you: Imagine walking into a massive convention center buzzing with energy. Everywhere you look, there are people—fighters, fans, trainers, and even celebrities from the world of combat sports—milling around, getting ready for the next big thing. There’s a main stage where live fights will be held throughout the day, with some of the top up-and-coming talents in the sport. Trust me, these are the fighters you’ll be seeing on the big stage soon enough, and you’ll get to say you saw them here first.

There’s also a sprawling vendor hall where you can shop for gear, sign up for training programs, and even snag some autographs. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of boxing gloves, the latest MMA apparel, or supplements to help you train harder, the vendors at FightCon have everything to keep your training game strong.

Then, of course, there are the interactive sessions—you know, the ones that really get your blood pumping. Have you always wanted to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? How about learning some practical self-defense techniques from professional trainers? This is your moment. Whether you’re a total beginner or someone with a little experience under your belt, these sessions are designed to cater to all levels. And let’s not forget about the Q&A panels with the pros—this is where you can ask your favorite fighters those burning questions like, “How do you stay mentally tough before a fight?” or “What’s your go-to recovery routine?”
