Despite MMA thriving worldwide, we have our first major casualty as KDM FC has filed bankruptcy and closed their doors.
We secure an extension with Wes Hersch, 6 fights at $7,500 per fight
Ramp up for the introduction of our lightweight division is under way as I offer contracts to 15 fighters, including a few from XCC
Current Financials and full card for ECW 17, not the strongest card up top, through new signee and Gamma vet Leon Banks should draw some interest.
