    He's a crook but he has a lot of experience in the fight game so hopefully he can put on some fun fights.

    I wonder how long it will take Warren to start criticizing other promoters, saying the know nothing about the fight game blah blah blah.

    In Warrens defense, he has helped some of the UK's best boxers along, whether it was for his own gains or not. He should have some good connections to bring to the table too.

    You mean Stu Pot. I've not seen him but can just imagine.

    I'm not disputing FW's promoting pedigree and his ability to generate money from the fight game but he's a hypocritical wanker for slagging off MMA for all these years and now jumping on the bandwaggon.

    Absolute zero integrity.

    It' mark burdis, possibly best known for playing a hilarious and unintelligent character in Operation Goods Guys. I couldn't believe my eyes 'is that... the really thick copper... from operation good guys? What could he possibly be doing here?'

    Personally I'm surprised more boxing promoters haven't tried their hand at MMA already.

    Obviously he was going to condemn MMA as blood sports early on because it was competiting against his boxing cards with I'd assume a similar audience base.

    However for the most part UK MMA is seen by many as an opportunity to hopefully be noticed by the UFC or at least get a slot on TUF. Warren will be tying guys up with tighter contracts than have likely been on the UK scene before which could cause issues for guys down the line.
