(Wilmington, MA) – In the 1970’s ABC featured the hit television program “Eight Is Enough”, starring Dick Van Patten, about a suburban family comprised of eight children of varying ages.  Today New England’s version of “Eight Is Enough” refers to the growing number of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organizations currently in operation.  Well bump that number to 9 as the Global Fight League enters the battle for MMA supremacy in New Hampshire as it offers “The Harvest” on November 13th from the IOKA Theatre in Exeter, NH and streaming LIVE online!

“This will be by far one of the best venues to see MMA action in New England,” Bonnell wrote, “The landmark theatre has a state of the art sound system, with an ambiance that is a throwback to the old school days of boxing!”

GFL promoter Scott Millette and Matchmaker Dan Bonnell envision the GFL becoming the platform where many of New England’s “new” fighters will jump on the scene and gain experience eventually graduating to the bigger promotions; their first public offering, "THE HARVEST", is entitled so to symbolize the new crop of fighters and a new type of MMA promotion here in New England, one that emphasizes youth and development.
