The venue for The Fight Factory V: Warriors Ascent on January 23, 2010 is the Marion Cultural and Civic Center. The Marion Cultural and Civic Center is located on the square in historical downtown Marion, Il. This is a beautiful place for any event. Upon entrance of the lobby, attention is drawn to the magnificent chandelier which is accented by the elegant grand staircase that  gracefully cascades between floors. The facility is 33,000 square feet and comfortably seats 1065 without a bad seat in the house. The seating is a sloped stadium style seating which gives you a great view of the cage. The isles are lighted for easy navigation while traveling to and from your seat. Food and beverage's are located in the main lobby. The theater is sufficiently equipped with state of the art sound and lighting. This truly is a great place to watch the most professional mma event in Southern Illinois!
