Spring Will Be a Violent Thing! Michigan’s premier MMA promoter is also its busiest.

Joseph Donofrio of Donofrio Entertainment is proud to announce a six-event series of MMA shows this Spring, being held at some of the state’s finest venues and in support of some of very worthy causes.

Scheduled first is his “Knockout Blindness” event on April 19 at the Shelby Township Lion’s Club inside the Palazzo Grande Event Center in Shelby Township, Michigan. All tickets to this fantastic annual night of full-contact cage fighting will include premium dinner, top-shelf open bar and door prizes and the proceeds will benefit Leader Dogs for the Blind. Former Detroit Red Wing greats will be in attendance and their exclusive national anthem singer, Karen Newman, will sing the Star Spangled Banner.

And then on May 7, Donofrio Entertainment will return to their headquarters at the Palace of Auburn Hills for another Impact Fight League installment, featuring the finest martial artists in Michigan throwing down inside the Donofrio battle cage. Entitled “MAYhem at the Palace”, the show will include all the usual thrills, chills, special guests and heart-stopping action that Donofrio events have become known for.
