XFS #56 went off without a hitch, well almost. Despite the fact that this event was postponed, this house was packed. We have never seen so many VIP tables at a fight before; all well positioned and a great vantage for the fights and possibly the best seat in the house for the fight that broke out in the stands when one fan tackled another from the walkway into the crowd in the Lower Bowl below. It happened late in the 3rd round of Urwin's Heavyweight battle. Just as the fans were demanding more action from the octagon, the crowd exploded into a roar and everyone leaped to their feet. An army of red security shirts swarmed to assist. The marines, who were there in an recruiting and advertising capacity, were also there to lend a hand to end the scuffle.
One of the promoters was quoted as saying, "That's why they like having these over by 10."
A lead security officer said it started in the bathroom and spilled out into the crowd after some sort of altercation in the restroom. Between the security force, the marines, and the fight fans, what could have turned into a melee, was doused within seconds. Fast enough for those who were thinking about swarming to keep their buzzing to themselves.

This squashing was as impressive as the night. The quality of fights, the amount of belts exchanged, and the amount of undefeated's who finally met their match, made the night a success and this fight fan ready for XFS #57.
