DFC Las Vegas is anything but ordinary. Those at DFC-LV are changing the way a fighting organization is looked at and thinking outside the box. For a starting org and even experienced organizations, most recommend only doing 3 to 5 weight classes. DFC dismisses this logic and provides equal treatment to the skinny, average, and heavy. Offering 7 weight classes and a title fight in EVERY event, DFC defies the guides.
It is recommended to do one event per week to maximize profit return and hype. Does DFC do this? No. Offering two events per week every Friday and Saturday night, DFC provides action for 40 fighters and two title contentions every week.
When DFC-LV first began, some kind and helpful managers reached out to CEO Jay Lawrence to give advice. One of the things they pointed out is how the top 10 orgs all have about 100-150 fighters. Well, you guessed it! DFC hosts over 250 fighters with the ability to accomodate the young, the old, and the restless. The strong will rise the the weak will be replaced.
A very experienced Tycoon manager and organization CEO advised Jay Lawrence to keep one weight class for open weight in order to provide higher hype main events and really bring on the hype. Preferring to start from scratch and build the fighters up within, Jay graciously dismissed this recommendation. DFC fighters will make DFC great, not established visitors.
An MMA and Kickboxing org will ruin hype and can't work. This was the message received after DFC announced plans to add a kickboxing league to the MMA platform. Tycoon creator Mike Tycoon was reached for comment and he stated that MMA and Kickboxing hype are separate and will not effect each other. However, this will effect profit for DFC. DFC again chooses their own path and prepares to have (the first ever?) a hybrid organization with an open weight, 300k restricted, 18-year old only creation kickboxing league. This league will begin recruiting immediately after MMATycoon hits 300k.
DFC Las Vegas plans to be around for a long time to come. Will the organization make mistakes? Yes. Have they made mistakes? Yes. But DFC-Las Vegas hosts some of the top managers in the game and with the help of great managers and great fighters, DFC Las Vegas will continue to progress and become a paramount organization within MMATycoon. And they will do it their way.
