According to azfamily.com two Phoenix, AZ area men have been charged in connection with an unsanctioned cage-fighting event that occurred sometime in February at the Maya New York Pizza Bar in Mesa.

The unsanctioned fights were captured on video, which has been published by azfamily and is available below:

The video shows three different fights. One of those fights involves small children. That fight was reportedly labeled as a ‘50lb fight’.
