An English MMA promotion has taken a novel approach to hosting events during these socially-distanced times with the announcement of a pair of special drive-in fight night shows. “Contenders 30: Drive-In” will take place on August 10 at the East of England Showground in Peterborough, with “Contenders 31” following in Norwich one week later. Both events are scheduled to take place outdoors with fans able to drive their cars into the showground area and watch the action. The fights themselves will take place in a raised cage and the action will be shown on a big screen, with commentary provided via an FM radio frequency so fans can listen to play-by-play via their car radios. The Contenders promotion decided to get creative after their planned U.S.
