This past weekend, we went over to the Raritan Expo Center in Edison, NJ to support our good friends, The Dancel’s, as the father/daughter combo of Vin and Julianna compete in the Challenge of Champions XXV MMA tournament, and wife/mother, Janis, tries not to jump in the ring after them (as you can imagine, most of our time was spent preventing the latter).

Challenge of Champions is the largest mixed martial arts competition in the United States. This twenty-fifth Challenge of Champions event boasted nearly 1,700 competitors of all ages, backgrounds and belt ranks participating in 300 divisions of head-to-head, dual-discipline martial arts competition. The event took place in front of a sold-out crowd of over 3,100 spectators (with an additional 400 volunteer staff).The areas of competition included Submission Grappling and Free Fighting, for both juniors (ages 15 and under) and adults (of all ages).”
After hours of anticipation and preparation, Julianna started grappling at 11:30am, then immediately got ready for her 2pm weigh-in for kickboxing.
