LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 24, 2017) - SMASH Global is proud to announce SMASH Global V Pre-Oscar Black Tie MMA Fight Gala on Thursday, February 23, 2017 at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California benefiting anti-bullying. Limited tickets are available for purchase at https://www.smashglobal.com/tickets/.
Created by founder and former pro-MMA fighter Steve "Hulk Smash" Orosco, SMASH Global is an ultra-exclusive, black tie dinner series showcasing some of the fastest rising Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fight stars -- live in the cage. The only event of its kind, SMASH Global has become the most exclusive event in the history of the sport.
The charity-driven evening kicks off with a star-studded red carpet celebrating well known guests from film, television and sport and a pre-event cocktail reception. A four-course dinner follows, during which SMASH Global will honor an individual who has had a significant impact on the sport. The sound of the bell signals the highlight of the night, ringing in the first of five (5) intense, professional MMA bouts sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission.
"SMASH Global was created with the idea of marrying MMA with sophistication and class," says Orosco. "So many people love MMA, so I decided to produce an event where guests can enjoy a night of elegance, a fantastic red carpet and a dinner experience -- all the while witnessing some of the best fighters and fight action around. As a pre-Oscar event, we are bringing something fresh to award season. SMASH Global V is the only event of its kind, celebrating Hollywood's biggest fight, the race for the 2017 Academy Awards."
Past honorees include Tito Ortiz (MMA Hall of Famer) and Freddie Roach (iconic trainer to Manny Pacquiao).
