Hi,

ive heard of it apparently its jb promotions, i'm not particularly happy about it as out of courtesy i thought they would of contacted myself if only for fighter (as i run the only mma club in the city), they havent even contacted the amatuer boxing club, sounds like a sack of shit to me.
sorry to anyone involved with the promotion but im intitled to my opinion and to voice it

Without a govening body, ALL UK MMA is unlicensed

JB promotions, didn't they try to do a MMA show last year?

[ReD_mIst]

I think so.

Are they the one that advertise in the back of boxing monthly?

[ReD_mIst]

Just got this months boxing monthly. It's not them.

The one in Boxing Monthly who is advertising for fighters is World Mixed Martial Arts Union (appears to be assocaited to the Amateur Boxing Union). I've mentioned them before, but I remember getting shot down because I doubted their credentials

[lutadormma]

yeah its interesting, i would have thought that they would contact the people involved in York.

[dannygiblin]

i would too pal to get local fighters as i say i personally think the promoter doesnt have a clue, and agree with aaron in doubting their credentials

[lutadormma]

They obviously dont have a clue lol, surely, if your planning on holding an event somewhere, especially quite a small city like york, where there aren't many clubs, then it would be a pretty good idea to speak to the locals.

Just spoke a mate of mine who is fighting on the show as far as he knows its just boxing govened by the EBF (european boxing federation) some good fighters on it but most of times its all exhibition or gloryfied sparring.
