Known as "T-Rex" for her relentless, suffocating fighting style, Shields combines elite boxing IQ with exceptional hand speed, elite defensive fundamentals, and the kind of ring generalship that takes most fighters a decade to develop.

The upgrades transformed the arena into a best-in-class live experience, with improved sightlines, upgraded food and beverage options, and a technology infrastructure that enhances every event held inside its walls.
