I popped by the Excalibur Nightclub to see the MMA Fights put on by the new MMA Sports Federation. Good source of interviews for my film.

CHICAGO, IL, USA - Several highly accomplished fight sport professionals recently announced the creation of the MMA Sport Federation, an organization that will champion the highest ideals of sportsmanship & athleticism in mixed-martial arts.

The MMASF brings a new chapter to the explosive MMA arena. Emphasizing the incubation of new talent while building young fighters for tomorrow, the MMASF promotes sportsmanship & supreme athleticism all in a national team competition format.
