 Last week, in the sunny and beautiful Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a number of MMA media members gathered at the Copacabana beach front to cover the grand opening of fuRIOus Fighting's headquarters.
The two-story building will be home to the upstart organization, managed and owned by Johnny Canuck and Rodrigo Oliveira, who succesfully teamed up to run Vigor Fighting, one of the top orgs in Amsterdam. Some of the fighters managed by both executives also attended the event and sparred a couple of rounds in a set-up octagon. The duo also answered a couple of questions in a press conference:
Q: Why choose Rio as the base for a new organization?
Johnny Canuck: Well, Brazil is the hotbed of MMA and has a strong fighting culture. It's always flocking with new talent, and Rodrigo is Brazilian, so he knows his way around here too (laughs). He will be handling the marketing work, while i'll take care of contracts and matchmaking.
Q: What will make fuRIOus stand out from other organizations?
Rodrigo Oliveira: We're always willing to mix things up and make everyone's stay as fun as possible. If you guys check our work at Vigor Fighting, you'll see that we always had good, fair matchmaking and excellent production value for our shows, with pre and post-fight coverage.
Johnny Canuck: We're also be making this as competitive as possible. Our first champions will be crowned in tournaments, which will also help them get experience and build their records.
After the brief interview, the media members were invited for a tour inside the promotion's facilities, as well as to the grand opening party, which included live shows and DJs performing.
Any fighters interested in joining the ranks of fuRIOus Fighting can send a message to Johnny Canuck (http://mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=59489).
