FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A charity Ultimate Fighting bout at Fort Bragg raised $4 million for a planned $70 million research center for traumatic brain injuries, one of the most common combat injuries suffered by troops in Iraq.
“We’ve never brought in that much money in three hours,” said Bill White, president of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
Sponsored by the national promotional group Ultimate Fighting Championship, the event billed as “Fight For The Troops” was broadcast live on cable station Spike TV from the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville. It is the second sanctioned UFC fight at a U.S. military base and 12,000 tickets for the mixed martial arts event were available only to Fort Bragg soldiers.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
