September 22, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire --
B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”) (OTCMKTS:BTDG),
the premier development league for mixed martial arts (“MMA”), is
excited to announce that the Company’s
application for a promoter’s license has been approved by the
Kansas Athletic Commission. B2Digital is now immediately eligible
to hold and operate fights in the state.
The B2 Fighting Series also has received an official
fight permit from the Kansas Athletic Commission to hold its first
LIVE MMA B2 Fighting Series event. The event will take place on
November 21 in suburban Johnson County, Kansas,
which is located in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan
Area, under the newly formed “Blaze MMA” brand, which is
solely the property of B2 Digital.
“We continue to aggressively pursue geographic
expansion in terms of our LIVE event footprint, and our move into
the Kansas marketplace will tap into a wealth of value and continue
to drive exciting growth for our brand and shareholders,” commented
Greg P. Bell, Chairman & CEO of B2Digital. “Kansas has a
tremendous MMA, fitness, and live sports culture, and we look
forward to building our new Blaze MMA brand of the B2 Fighting
Series in the fighting sports
community.”
Management notes that the Company is now licensed in
eleven (11) total US states. The Blaze MMA brand has been created
specifically for this expansion step. This business model is
different than in the past where the company has typically acquired
an existing fight brand for
expansion.
This new model allows the Company to capitalize on
its proprietary operational, technical, and intellectual property
assets, along with the Company’s current gym and fighter
relationships, to receive the MMA fight license and fight permits
from the state. This approach will lower the cost of expansion on a
state by state basis by eliminating the initial fixed cost
investment of acquiring an existing fight
group.
Adam Roorbach, Executive
Director, Kansas City Athletic Commission, added, “We are excited
to bring the B2 Fighting Series into Kansas for compelling live
sports action. We are constantly working to attract an MMA sports
organizations to bring their events to Kansas, and the growing
success of the B2 Fighting Series made it a natural choice. Kansas
has become a destination for some of the top MMA organizations in
the world, and our tremendous fight fans are a large reason why. We
also welcome the exposure that B2Digital will bring as it
broadcasts Kansas-based live events out to the world. The KAC
is committed to the health and safety of all involved, and will
work with B2 Fighting Series to ensure a healthy environment for
all.”
