With MMA (mixed martial arts) gaining more and more popularity, various fight leagues (most notably the UFC) have spent millions of dollars on marketing and have world wide fan bases.  Now, with major alcohol sponsors like Bud Light, Casadores Tequila, and Mickey's Malt Liquor supporting these leagues, many bars are capitalizing on fight nights.

ReverseHappyHour.com has scoped the valley and has put together our list of the best places to go and watch the fights.

Number 1:  Versus Sports Grill - Scottsdale

Equiped with over 30 HD TVs, there's not a bad seat in the house!  Throw in cute waitresses "refereeing" the event (and taking your orders) and a slew of promotional girls passing out free shots, you can't go wrong here.

They have 14 beers on tap, a full menu, daily drink specials and fight night cover is only $5!  You can even take your girlfriend here because the food is that good...

Number 2:  American Junkie - Old Town

Good ol' Junkie!  There is something for everyone at this place!

The best part about watching fights here, no cover and afterwards you can stick around because Old Town is always crazy on Saturday nights.

Number 3: The Tavern on Mill - Mill Ave

No cover, 28 TVs, and real people to fight after the fight (oh how we love drunk college kids)!  The Tavern is a fun, classy place to drink any time with a great menu and great specials.

Well fight fans.. did we miss any other major spots???

Based on the recommendations of a few local bartenders (whom ReverseHappyHour.com relies heavily upon for new content) we are adding a new blog post entitled "Bartender Says".

In our "Bartender Says" posts, we will discuss various bar topics, share bartender's advice, answer your questions and hopefully spread general rules regarding social bar etiquette that bartenders feel all bar patrons should know and follow.

In this post we will discuss the subject of bar tabs.  A bar tab is the open, ongoing bill a customer keeps with the bar in exchange for a credit card.  It allows for quick and easy service between the bartender and  bar patron and also allows for the tracking of all drinks ordered by said patron.

There has been a lot of talk about the soon-to-open Shotgun Betty's in Old Town, Scottsdale.  You might be surprised, however, to hear that a lot of that talk is about the racial connotations Shotgun Betty's bar design and advertising has suggested.

Mickey's Hangover in Old Town, Scottsdale will be re-opening very soon!  The owner, who also owns Furio, is going to rename it to The Hangover.

Mickey's closed early last year.  Employees said problems arose due to poor communication between staff and owners, not from a lack of customer support.

Expect The Hangover to be open around April of this year.
