ESPN Ocho returns on 8/8 (naturally)

[SirFozzie]

"If it's almost a sport... we have it!"
 

Some good ones too: Flat Track Roller Derby, 2 Types of Dodgeball (with and without trampolines), Hurling (the Irish sport), SUMO! and KABBADI!!!!! (an Indian Sport, the best way I can describe it as Competitive Tag on a volleyball court.)

 

AND LIGHTSABER DUELING!

 

The Saber Legion 2018: Awakening: The world’s biggest custom dueling organization founded in 2015 highlighting the best in high-level light saber combat.
