The fight just became more exciting: Last Man Standing

Last Man Standing (275K+), Fight Organization, Las Vegas
Company profile by

 Spencer Kilco reporting for £4£: The best for MMA News, Views and Reviews

  

Last Man Standing based in Las Vegas isn’t any ordinary fighting organisation but one that has a heavy emphasis on entertainment. Instead of fight night bonuses the company pay out a bonus to those who were most entertaining selling their fight or in the lead up to fight night. The rankings system isn’t based off wins but those who have been a showman and given 110% to fans outside the cage as well as inside.

 

Why am I telling you this? Well I am the founder of the company. It seems strange as I’ve only just come on to the MMA scene as a journalist. But this could very well be an opportunity of a life time. I’m a lifelong fight fan and have been a journalist for six years now with a British newspaper before dedicating all my time to MMA as a freelancer. As a fight fan I was lucky enough to conduct an interview for my paper four years ago with Brazilian trainer Benedict Silva. We’ve stayed in contact and been close friends ever since, and only six months ago he was the one that convinced me to make the more to MMA journalism.

 

Silva now lives and works as head trainer for the Fightzilia camp in Las Vegas. With other media contacts as well as myself he realised there was a market for fighter with big personalities that would talk the talk then have to prove themselves. He realised there is rarely a product like the boxing days of old (or the golden years of pro-wrestling – if that’s what your into) put on in Las Vegas, if anywhere. Silva owns all the equipment and local contacts, but just needs a show man to head it up. That’s where I step in.

 

My job is to create a platform for the fighters to sell themselves and create a fan base unlike any other in the fight world. Fans are going to be closer to the fighters and experience a different sort of entertainment during our fight weeks. At first we are going to focus on younger fighters, athletes you haven’t see before to give them a platform to launch their careers. The better the fighters interact with the fans the more money they earn and the more chances (becoming contenders) they receive in Last Man Standing.

 

What’s first? We will be hosting tournaments to crown our first champions starting with the Lightweights and middleweights. As an extra each winner will also receive an extra 40K. This will give us the most exciting fights straight out of the gate to prove to the MMA world who we are and what we will deliver!

 

Watch this space, or don’t, either way you will hear our fighters smack talk all over the fight world. I can’t imagine you not loving or hating, but defiantly following at least a few guys In our ranks once their all shouting and trying to make a name for themselves. And if you are a fighter, sign up now to get entered into our tournaments!
