Today, whether it’s real life or digital, they’re multi-billion dollar industries that have woven themselves into our popular culture – just take a look at how many MMA gyms and wannabe fighters out there. Here’s a look at the history and growth of our obsession with ‘sports entertainment’. FIGHTING TOURNAMENTS The Brazilian fighting sideshow called Vale Tudo (aka ‘No Holds elbows, knees, and shins.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 4, 2020 [email protected] PANCRASE 316, July 24, 2020 – Studio Coast, Tokyo Bout Hype A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 4, 2020 PANCRASE 316, July 24, 2020 – Studio Coast, Tokyo Bout Hype After a five-month hiatus, the legendary promotion Pancrase sets off the summer fireworks with a stellar mixed martial card. Studio Coast plays host to 8 main card bouts, 3 preliminary match ups, and 12 bouts in the continuation of the 2020 Neo Blood Tournament heats on July 24th in the first event since February. Reigning Featherweight King of Pancrase Champion, Isao Kobayashi headlines the main event in a non-title bout against Akira Okada who drops down from Featherweight to meet him. The Never Quit gym ace and Bellator veteran, Kobayashi is a former Pancrase Lightweight Champion. The ripped and powerful Okada has a tough welcome to the Featherweight division, but possesses notoriously frightening physical power. “Isao” the reigning Featherweight King of Pancrase Champion, has been unstoppable in nearly three years. He claimed the interim title by way of disqualification due to a grounded knee at Pancrase 295, and following orbital surgery and recovery, he went on to capture the undisputed King of Pancrase belt from Nazareno Malagarie at Pancrase 305 in May 2019. Known to fans simply as “Akira”, he is widely feared as one of the hardest hitting Pancrase Lightweights, and steps away from his 5th ranked spot in the bracket to face Kobayashi. The 33-year-old has faced some of the best from around the world, and will thrive under the pressure of this bout. A change in weight class could be the test he needs right now. The co-main event sees Emiko Raika collide with Takayo Hashi in what promises to be a test of skills and experience, mixed with sheer will-to-win guts and determination.

    Marketingová komunikace MMA v České republice Bc. David Vondra Diplomová práce 2020 ABSTRAKT Tato diplomová práce reflektuje neustále se zvyšující popularitu smíšených bojových umění (MMA) v České republice. Jejím hlavním cílem je zjistit, jakým způsobem popularizují čeští zápasníci tuzemskou MMA scénu a jaké komunikační kanály k tomu využívají. K dosažení tohoto cíle je v této práci využíváno několik výzkumných metod – polostrukturované rozhovory s českými zápasníky, polostrukturované rozhovory s fanoušky MMA a dotazníkové šetření, které potvrzuje informace získané prostřednictvím rozhovorů. Z nich je patrné, že MMA má v České republice velký potenciál, ale aby mohla popularita tohoto sportovního odvětví nadále růst, je potřeba oslovit širokou veřejnost prostřednictvím informačních kanálů, jako jsou televize, rozhlas či outdoorová reklama. Klíčová slova: MMA, smíšená bojová umění, marketing, rozhovor, sport, Facebook, Oktagon MMA ABSTRACT This thesis reflects on the ever-increasing popularity of mixed martial arts (MMA) in the Czech Republic. The aim of this thesis is to examine, how Czech fighters popularize the domestic MMA scene and what type of communication channels they use for this purpose. Several research methods have been used to support to the thesis´s aim, such as semi- structured interviews with Czech fighters, semi-structured interviews with MMA fans and a questionnaire survey, which supports the facts obtained from the interviews. The conducted research clearly shows that, MMA has great potential in the Czech Republic, however for its popularity to grow, the general public needs to be addressed via a variety of information channels such as, television, radio and outdoor advertising. Keywords: MMA, mix martial arts, marketing, interview, sport, Facebook, Oktagon MMA Tuto cestou bych rád poděkoval mému vedoucímu diplomové práce Mgr.

  • 25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow Me on Twitter Here
    25 Pro Fighters, Managers, and Coaches Reveal Their Best Tips to Land a Sponsorship by Solmadrid Vazquez Follow me on Twitter here. Sponsorships can make or break you. The problem is, the process of landing a sponsorship is counter-intuitive. Being a great fighter is NOT enough. I’m sure you’ve seen fighters who land sponsors left and right. What’s their secret? How come they can get 27 sponsors in one day and you can’t even get one freakin’ rep to look at you? What THE hell is going on?! To get to this bottom of this conundrum, I contacted some of the best fighters, managers, and trainers in the game and asked them a simple question: “What is your #1 tip to land a sponsorship?” Each tip has a custom tweet link after it so feel free to share your favorite tips with your followers. Let’s Get Ready To Ruuuummmmbllllllleee!!! Frank Shamrock Frank Shamrock is a retired MMA Fighter. He was the first UFC Middleweight Champion and retired as the four-time defending undefeated champion. He was also the first WEC Light Heavyweight Champion, and the first Strikeforce Middleweight Champion. He was a brand spokesman for Strikeforce and is a Sports Commentator for Showtime. Frank can be found at his site, on Facebook, and on Twitter. My number one tip to landing a sponsorship is presenting yourself properly. Present a long-term consistent growth plan that somebody, or a sponsor, could attach themselves to, so you can show how you will grow together. “Present a long-term consistent growth plan.” Tweet this.
