A mixed martial arts event -- Combat Cage Fight Night -- will be held at Calangute beach in Goa on December 18 and 19.
The second season of the event is organised in association with Goa Tourism department, Goa Tourism minister Dilip Parulekar told reporters here.
"This time, an audience of 1,500 a night is expected on December 18 and 19 at its new venue - the scintillating Destination One right on the shores of Calangute beach.
"Set against the beautiful setting sun on a clear winter evening, this seafront venue offers the best seating to fans of this national mixed martial arts event coming in from across the country," the Minister said.
He said Combat Cage Fight is fast becoming the biggest and best fight show in the country.
"By virtue of its high value entertainment and excellent organisation, it is an invaluable opportunity for Goa in terms of both sport and tourism," Parulekar added.
Sinead McManus, CEO of Combat Cage Fight said this time twenty four fighters will take to the ring in twelve high energy bouts across both nights.
Combat cage fighting is a safe, regulated, competitive sport that involves a combination of martial arts techniques within the restrictions of a confined space.
Goa's main card entry for the Combat Cage Fight Night on December 18 is Nelson Paes, who stole the show last year with his quick moves and finishing with a superb knock out.
Also participating are popular fighters Himanshu Kushik and Goa's Pushka Bhosle. Returning from last season are Danny Manpola, Suraj Bahadur, Rohit Pundar, Vivek Sharma who will vie for the ultimate title in India's mixed martial arts scene, the organisers said.
