Fight Night opens in the Grindhouse!

Date: 220707
Planet: Tatooine
Region: Farpoint Valley

Story: (Written by the Galactic News Agency, Ramona doesn't write IC).

Fight Night, the traditional pit fighting contest/tournament of Tatooine recently revived in Farpoint Valley, was held again last night, this time in the new “Grindhouse”, a massive hall built for combat events of all kinds.

Clarissa Goldear, mayoral candidate for Farpoint Valley, ran the event again, arbitrating the different fights. As before, a grand prize of 1’000’000 credits awaited the winner, this time sponsored by Doctor Rapture Antross. Again the event drew a large crowd, including the champion of the last Fight Night, Melkin Antross.

After 90 minutes of fighting, Zrian Vranic was declared the victor and received the prize money. The prize for second place, 200’000 credits sponsored by the Neutron Pixies, went to Oulyrai. Third place was a tie between Vlane, Bristol and Ramona.

Betting was handled by rodian businessman Tooblee, with the profits of the betting going to a charity fund for the orphans of Alderaan.

Despite the at times savage fighting, no serious injuries were reported, and no violence occurred outside the fighting areas.
