Breaking news from the overnight. On Cage Passion Radio Vice President of Operations for Absolute Action Billy Donovan made a big announcement that has a deep impact in the field of Mixed Martial Arts coverage for Kentucky. Starting with the June 18th fight card you can not only watch AAMMA shows on gofightlive.com but you will be able to watch them on cable station Wazoo Sports, an affiliate of NBC. The owner of AAMMA Dr. Parag Patel, M.D. said " This has happened faster than I expected , however, we are ready for the opportunity and will be looking forward to showcase some fantastic match-ups and talent."
As mentioned June 18th is the date to set your DVR's or plan a fight party if you are unable to make it to Florence to catch the show live. The deal will broadcast the event live and also includes 3 rebroadcasts over a 30 day period as well as On Demand access.
This deal is being announced just after AAMMA XII - The Anniversary Show. That show marked a year's worth of quality local amateur fights as well as some professional bouts. Dr. Patel said it best when he speaks of how fast this has happened. Mixed Martial Arts fans are growing exponentially and its apparent that television outlets want a shot to get in on the action. This is exciting news not only for Absolute Action fans but for promotions across the state. This could be used as a great model of how to build your franchise. Absolute Action has a solid blueprint on how to take care of its fighters and fans. The hard work seems to be paying off and we offer our sincere congratulations to Dr. Patel and V.P. Donovan in all their future endeavors.
