Toughman at State House Convention Center
By: Alexandra Brown
Updated: March 15, 2013
A field of over40 local fighters, including Toughwomen is expected. From those already registered, it's easy to see the fighters come from all walks of life: a real estate salesman to a member of the military, from production line tough guy to high school teacher, and they come from all over the local area. Every competitor will be going toe-to-toe in front of friends and family for a little fame and fortune. Mr. T, one of Toughman's famous alumni, summed it up, "No wimps allowed. If we wanted a best man, we'd go to a wedding, if we're looking for a good man, we'll look in the military, we want the TOUGHEST man!" Daring and dogged fighters fitting the description can register online at www.toughmancontest.net <http://www.toughmancontest.net> In addition to a daredevil attitude, competitors must be at least 18, and pass the on-site physical. Over $3,000 in cash will be awarded at the conclusion of the finals on Saturday night. Sponsored by The Peabody Little Rock, Crow-Burlingame Bumper to Bumper, Golden Eagle Distributing of Arkansas, The Budweiser Ring Girls will be in attendance both nights! The Original Toughman Contest is regulated in Arkansas by the Arkansas Athletic Commission and requires, among other elements of safety: 1) doctor at ringside 2) insurance for fighters 3) breathalyzer tests & 4) maximum safety gear.
