Mixed Martial Arts is something that is new to the Havre sport's scene, but after the spectacle Saturday night inside the Havre Ice Dome, it might quickly become more popular. Lights Out at the Dome, as it was billed by 221 Industries and Fusion Fight League, certainly didn't disappoint, as the fans who packed the Havre Ice Dome, saw seven fights, including a number of local participants in action. The main attraction was the last bout of the night, featuring Havre's own...
