Fight Engine web site driving MMA matches
LAS VEGAS (July 21, 2009) – The many advantages of being a member of the revolutionary www.fightengine.com were recently demonstrated when a Mexican mixed martial arts promoter went on line to the state-of-the-art website, researched its members and negotiated a heavyweight match between two registered fighters who have their videos and key information posted, 3-time World Grappling title-holder Jeff “Snowman” Monson and veteran Jimmy Ambriz.
Fight Engine is changing the way mixed-martial-arts fighters – professionals, amateurs and even neighborhood tough guys -- market themselves and develop strong fan bases. Monson and Ambriz, simply by being registered members of www.fightengine.com, were able to land fights on the July 11th “Total Combat: Dream Eight” show July 11 in Mexico City.
Fighters never know who will be checking them out on www.fightengine.com – promoters, manager, sponsors, fighters, or fans.
Monson won that match at 1:09 of the opening round by way of a rear naked choke, but the real winners were MMA fans in attendance, as well as the show’s promoter and the aforementioned fighters who never would have been on the card without the power of www.fightengine.com.
FightEngine.com works with MMA fighters to gain International notoriety. Registered fighters from around the world do not have to be “name” or even veterans of the cage. Unknowns or even novice fighters may be discovered by posting his or her video and challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.
Equally valuable is the opportunity for MMA fighters from around the world, even those under contract and prohibited from participating in Fight Engine’s “super card,” can still use the web site as a marketing tool to get an edge on the opposition and build fan bases. Smack talk is allowed, challenges encouraged, and the Babes of Fight Engine constantly drive traffic to the site.
Even fighters contractually prohibited from fighting in the FightEngine.com event can benefit from posting action videos instead of forcing fans to work their way through and around You Tube. Registered fighters may gauge their popularity through one web site, at one location, through www.FightEngine.com and its fan feedbacks.
Promoters and managers have a brand new way to scout talent and fans become real matchmakers, publicly criticizing video-posted fighters as well as arguing with other fans regarding which fighters they want matched against each other.
A non-discriminatory source providing male and female fighters, as well as ring girls, FightEngine.com also offers opportunities to gain invaluable exposure on its popular website. Promoters and managers have started closely monitoring fightengine.com to scout and discover their next street fighting prospects and future MMA stars.
For a few selected MMA fighters, Fightengine.com offers a unique opportunity to earn a guaranteed five-figure purse, sign a potential six-figure promotional contract from a top rated promoter, paid travel expenses and, in the not too distant future, hopefully, other life-changing benefits through membership.
Fans can get in on the action simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, in addition to commenting about fights other spectators propose.
A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which illuminates on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters and, subsequently, fights will be arranged when the thermometer reaches its full apex.
Registered fighters on the FightEngine.com website are scouted by some of the world’s top MMA promoters in addition to competing for an opportunity to fight on a super card guaranteeing purses of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.
The “KO the Pro” section is where top-level fighters post action videos as other fighters battle for selection in a “KO the Pro” match-up. The first “KO The Pro” features legendary Sapp, one of the key advisors for
The growing list of “name” fighters registered at Fight Engine with their posted videos, challenging combat fighting legend Bob “The Beast” Sapp through the site’s “KO The Pro” section, include members Monson, Ambritz, David “Tank” Abbott, former UFC heavyweight champion Ricco “Suave” Rodriguez (34-10-0), and former UFC heavyweight contender Wes Sims (22-12-1).
