With UFC Norfolk just around corner, it’s no secret that the Hampton Roads section of Virginia, with it’s booming military population, is a blossoming hotbed for Mixed Martial Arts talent and fandom. Soon there will be a new professional promotion providing a platform to showcase some of that East Coast talent. That promotion is called Spartyka Fight League, and the active duty military founder, Jimi Partyka, is the brains behind the operation. Partyka has successfully ran 31 amateur Spartyka events dating back to 2010, and now looks to host the company’s first ever pro event on January 27, 2018.
