To kick off the night, there will be pre-game concourse demos in the 11th Street and Broad Street Atriums by Destolfo’s Premier Martial Arts and C.U.T.S. Martial Arts.

“Mixed Martial Arts have been an especially fast-growing sport over the past few years,” said Soul VP/COO John Adams.  “We hope to provide Soul fans with a unique night out at the Wells Fargo Center that they may not have the chance to experience otherwise.”
