Kyle Watson, a UFC fighter, Cory Hunter and Hugh Pulley, fighters in the upcoming Faction MMA Rising fights this coming Saturday, November 19th, and Matt Jordan, owner of Faction MMA, visited the children of the St Louis Shriners Hospital for Children for an opportunity that the fighters and the children will not soon forget.

In an Interview with Matt Jordan, Owner of Faction MMA and MMA practitioner himself, he said that it was a great experience which could not be explained in words. When they reached the hospital the children were down and you could see that they were sad, but after a short while, the fighters and the kids were all playing and enjoying themselves, playing foosball, air hockey and other games. Matt also said “it was great to see the athletes, which are members of one of the most brutal sports, to become big softies with the kids”, and “to see the smiles come to the kids’ faces.”
