But if all these guys are in a league where they pay to be in it, and they are always fighting one another, it seems like an awfully small world to me. There are barely going to be enough guys in and around NC to fill all the NC event cards this coming year. I honestly dont think you are going to have enough people in enough weight classes to consistently put on events or to be a venue. Not operating like that. I could be wrong, but the numbers are not going to support it. Why would guys with a gym, trainer, and manager want to bother is the question in this case, because there are literally going to be a TON of events for guys to fight in, and they wont have to pay to be associated with them.

If you want a stepping stone to the big leagues you are going to have to have professional dominated fight cards and have guys starting out around 500/500 and headliners making 2k-10k. That attracts the sort of guys who are moving out of the grass roots fights and on up.

If you have your own gym, trainer and manager- NO you do not have to pay the $50. If you do not have them - YES you do.

We are not asking fighters to stop training at their gym, we are providing a place to train if you do not have one.

What we are trying to do is simple.

Now that it is legal for MMA in NC we want to have a high quality outlet for both fighter and fans to be a part of. We really want to put NC on the MMA map as a state of champions and a force to be reckoned with. Please understand that am I in no way saying that there are not excellent leagues out there now. I am just giving the individual fighter a chance and a choice.

Thanks,
Ron Cooper

P.S. I have been a martial arts for 25 years. Shikata Mixed Martial Arts Academy is a combative martial art. We teach our students to fight from stand up, up close, on the ground multiple attackers, defend against and use weapons. Please keep in mind that our school and the CFL are 2 different things.
