Integrated Management, Training, Marketing To Climb The Ladder Quickly
The sport of MMA is clearly mainstream now. Corporate America has accepted it and is jumping in full force. Growth of the sport has reached exponential proportions.
Like many rapidly expanding endeavors, from time to time growing pains are experienced. There are growing pains being experienced by several active groups in MMA right now, perhaps none felt more at this time than by the Pro MMA fighters. At present, there are way more fighters vying for advancement in the food chain than there are high profile promotions to accomodate these fighters. The competition is fierce among the fighters for the good fight promotions which can offer significant exposure, advancement, and compensation.
Rabid Dog MMA International is proud to introduce an integrated solution to help the Pro MMA Fighter overcome this difficulty. This solution brings together fighter training, management inside and outside the ring, and marketing, all under one roof. Below is a summary of the major pieces to our new integrated program:
Training: Fight Promoters are always looking to feature new and exciting shows, fighters, and content. One way to get the attention of the fans is to showcase new techniques in the Cage -- Techniques that have not been widely seen before. Over the past 2 years, Russian Jiu-Jitsu (RJJ) Master Santiago Shatan has been introducing his unique brand of ground game across the U.S. Mr. Shatan has been taking the BJJ world to school, tapping out players from inside full Guard, from inside BJJ submissions, from the bottom Mount, and a whole lot more. His Skull Compression series of techniques has left his opponents in awe. Mr. Shatan's new state of the art MMA training facility is fully equipped with dormitory facilities, so that he can accomodate "fly-in" students long term, from anywhere. Mr. Shatan's current Pro Fighters are totally booked at all times, most fighting each and every month, and are receiving 100%-300% higher purses than their peers, simply based on their ability to execute new techniques not widely seen before at the Promoters' events. In addition, we supplement Mr. Shatan's unique training with Certified Carlson Gracie Sr. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Carlson is the oldest son of the founder of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Marketing: The bottom line for Fight Promoters is ticket sales. No one in MMA is better equipped to help the Promoters advertise their events than Rabid Dog's Marketing Dept. Rabid Dog maintains the world's largest MMA industry specific eMailer, now with more than 500,000+ high quality addresses. Rabid Dog's ability to design winning MMA sales content is widely accepted in the industry as being as good as it gets. When a Fight Promoter books our fighters, they are given complimentary use of our marketing resources, including our eMailer. This contribution gives us tremnedous leverage in negotiating our fighters' purses and opponents, and enables us to get the interest of the best Fight Promotions out there. Furthermore, Rabid Dog can bring a number of additional innovations to the Fight Promoters' events, such as Turnkey "Live" Internet Pay-per-View, Celebrity MMA Appearances and Instructional Seminars, Interactive Sportsbook Wage ring, and more. These additional supports serve to increase our ability to effectively negotiate for our Fighters. For more info. on our Marketing Resources, see:

Management: With the intense level of competition currently among the fighters for the quality fight promotion bookings, the fighter's ability to maximize revenue streams is critical for being able to transcend from being just a short lived fighter to having a career as a professional athlete. Rabid Dog's management tools enable the fighter to realize income from not only inside the Cage, but also from outside the Cage. It is this capability outside the Cage that can take a fighter from a hobbyist to a career athlete. From Sponsor Procurement, To Appearances and Seminars, To Financial Investments, To TV & Media Opportunities, To Instructional School Network Development, To Business Training & Continuing Education, To Product Merchandising & Gear Lines, Rabid Dog Can Provide An Integrated Solution To Building Its Fighters' Financial Portfolios. And, since we have strategic alliances with Professionally Licensed Sports A gents, there is no area of comprehensive management that we cannot handle.

Profit Sharing: Commensurate with operating a cohesive team that will "hang" for the long haul is REWARD. Rabid Dog MMA Pro Athlete Career Management is the only program in the MMA industry that provides long term incentive for its team members. After each full year of exclusive representation by Team Rabid Dog, each managed fighter earns company profit sharing financial bonuses which rollover and increase incrementally for each and every year of service. This incentive insures each fighter of having SOLID Teammates that they can depend on for training and a wide range of support. In addition, each Team Rabid Dog fighter becomes a scout and recruiter with a vested interest in the career advancement of their teammates.
