our number of branded properties to create a national footprint, as
well as building an operational infrastructure which allowed us to
successfully produce 66 events across the country this year,” said
Robert Haydak, President of Alliance MMA. “As we move into 2018,
the plan is to leverage our persistent presence in the top media
markets by fine-tuning the manner in which our promotions perform
in order to achieve superior results on an individual event basis.
We intend to specifically focus on improving revenue and profit
going forward by adjusting ticket prices, securing more lucrative
venue relationships, increasing attendance through enhanced social
media and other marketing means, and maximizing local sponsorship
proceeds through our independent sales force.”
Iron Tiger Fight Series will host back to back fights on
December 9th and December 15th in Ohio as Alliance MMA continues to
gain share in this expansive MMA market. The December 9th Iron
Tiger 78 event will be held at the Soccer Sports Plex in North

“Since 1975 I have been actively involved in promoting sporting
events, including executive roles with both the Los Angeles Lakers
and Los Angeles Kings, and partnering with Oscar De La Hoya to
create and operate Golden Boy Promotions,” said Roy Englebrecht,
now General Manager of SoCa Fights, formerly known as Roy
Englebrecht Promotions. “Based on many years of industry
experience, I sincerely believe that Alliance MMA is poised to
become the preeminent powerhouse in the regional MMA space.
Speaking for myself, as well as the other promoters who have been
invited to join Alliance MMA, there has never been a better
opportunity for us to collectively capitalize on the growing
interest in MMA, and create shareholder value for ourselves and our
investors.”
