“Well a lot of people don’t know but Grande Prairie has a very strong fight community. We have exceptionally skilled fighters here and to come to show that support and show our town doesn’t back down from a challenge, that kind of thing.”

“I’d like to see a lot more support of the fight community cause it’s very large here and very well developed, we have people at the highest level,” Golden said.

Golden said he does hope the interest from the community is there, with BPM Fitness wanting to make Fight Night a normal occurrence in Grande Prairie.

“I know there’s lots of interest from Gray at BPM to put this event on more than just this year, so I’m hoping it becomes a yearly thing where we can put on events like this with a fight card and have a really good turnout every time, so I have high hopes for it.”

Golden said their gyms in Grande Prairie are world-class with fighters that compete in the PFL (Professional Fighters League) and nationals for Kick-Boxing.

Golden’s main event bout is with Olsen Werenka who fights out of Dynamic MMA in Calgary. With a card consisting of amateur and professional kick-boxers, MMA fighters, and boxers.
