DAVID LACROIX EXPECTS HUGE NUMBERS IN PPV PREMIERE...
FFL CEO David LaCroix expects record numbers in their PPV debut FFL 1, which will feature six different weightclass tournaments to crown the first FFL Champions. He had this to say,
"It has taken a lot of work from a lot of different people to make this company a reality. FFL 1 will break PPV history and we are very excited for January 25th to arrive. The Beginning of a very successful company! You'd be a moron to not buy it!"
Some media have taken the comments as very cocky and feel it may turn MMA fans away from ordering the event. |

FFL PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES FEMALE BANTAMWEIGHT TOURNAMENT...
A lot of suspense has been held in lieu of the addition of the Women's Bantamweight division. Thursday Night it was announced by FFL President, Johnny Quinn, that a female bantamweight tournament will take place at FFL Fight Night 1, on February 8th, 2014.
"As much as we wanted to have the females fight on the FFL 1 card, we've came to the conclusion that it was too packed of a card and we were worried that they might not get the exposure they need. In front of a cable audience, we think the female fighters will get to be exposed to a wide range and in the end it will be more successful for not only this company, but for the fighters and division as well."
No word yet on how many competitors will be in it, but rumors are that they wouldn't shy away from a 16 woman field if they felt it could work.

"We debut on live cable television in a week for FFL Fight Night 1. If the fighters on the card bring the same type of mentality as the fighters on FFL 1, then I see no reason why it won't be a huge success."
