After some hard months of new laws and re-organisation in sweden MMA is now back with a bang.
What was meant to crush MMA only brought it back stronger and now almost every MMA school in sweden is working together and
The Zone is the first event since the new laws went throu.
The law was written so that it make it harder to hold Mma events in Sweden but since it was based on how dangerous it looked, not actual danger, the swedish mma federation was able to show the goverment that this is indeed a sport of today.
So the 9th of February The Zone FC,
http://www.thezonefc.com , will be held in Stockholm, Sweden with lots of fun matchups.
Besides the match ups they will have three artist performing. The only swedish rappers that can compete internationally, They have
ADL, one of swedens best rapper for many years and he's been around to become one of Swedens legends throu the group Blacknuss.
The second one is a star on the rise, recently mentioned in Perez hiltons Blog as "the new kanye". He puts his rap over electro beats and is pretty much the hottest shit in sweden at the moment.
Adam Tensta as his name is has also done some songs with the third act...

Lazee. He's been around for a while in both Sweden and London but he just recently got into the big scene with his rock/rap-star attitude and his new single "rock away" is climbing the swedish lists.
