NO HOLDS BARRED

History will be made tonight at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., as the first state-sanctioned mixed martial arts card in California will take place. Headlined by the return of former fighter of the year Frank Shamrock after a lengthy absence from major competition against Cesar Gracie, this fight pits two members of two of the greatest families in mixed martial arts and grappling history, the Shamrocks and Gracies, against one other.
