SAINT JOHN, N.B. – Mixed martial arts demos, a petition and the HoyCo Hunnies will be outside of city hall tonight for a demonstration.

HoyCo Productions is hoping the demonstration will shine the spotlight on the demand for MMA events in Saint John.

Promoter Ed Hoyt wishes the city would wake up to and realize this sport is growing in the region.

“There’s so much going on in Saint John when it comes to mixed martial arts but our city is lacking behind. So the people who show up tonight can be educated on exactly what mixed martial arts is.”

The demonstration gets underway at 7:30 tonight.
