Cows, chicks and cage fighting. The Weber County Fair is adding eight bouts or more involving two people in an octagon-shaped ring with chain-link fence around it.
"From what I understand, it's a huge crowd-pleaser," said Jan Wilson, the county's special-events manager. "The reason for having something like this was to target an audience that, according to our surveys, normally doesn't attend the fair."
Opponents wearing gloves fight each other using various techniques, including jiu jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, wrestling, judo, kung fu and karate.
The bout is over after three rounds or when someone surrenders or is knocked out.
