Last year we explored the wondrous history and how it came to be. This year we will focus on the tragic events that marred the celebration, tainting the already piss-tainted waters of the shoreline.
This is all in an effort to remind you, Pottahawk 2010 should be fun, but you should also be safe.
Not many know, but back in 1911 the first MMA event was held at Pottahawk. If you are wondering why the Tapout nation is not welcome in Ontario to this day and why legislation exists to make it so, look no further then that fateful afternoon at Pottahawk when Jiminy "Iron lung" McGeatchie took on Shorty "Roundhouse" Johnson for the MMA title.
Both men fought with passion, dedication and heart, entertaining the masses as the blood flowed and the two slowly drowned.
It was at that time that it was decided, the Octagon should not be submerged in water.
