Recapping With Carolina Fight Promotions - An Introduction To Southern MMA

by Brent Todd - 10-03-2009

It is no secret that Las Vegas is the mixed martial arts hotbed in the nation.  Slowly but surely the sport is both growing in popularity and becoming legal in more states.  Carolina Fight Promotions has set itself out to be THE promotion that represents Southern MMA.

Doug Muhle has a love of the sport.  He is trained in Brazilian Jui Jitsu and competed in the 2008 Pan-Am Games earning a gold medal.  Muhle realized that the South needed mixed martial arts and worked with North Carolina legislatures to legalize mma in his state.  After many meetings, the law changed and mma became legal.

Carolina Fight Promotions knows that putting on a good show is an absolute must for it to be successful.  Everything they do is top-notch from the sound system, the lights, instant replay and more.  The quality is what sets them above all of their competition.

Like fighters learning from each fight, Carolina Fight Promotions has learned from their previous shows.  New features are consistently be added to improve the experience for the fans and the fighters, and old features are always being tweaked.  The next step on their agenda is live streaming of their fights.

The first six shows have been either at or very near full capacity and depending on the venue have hosted between 2,200 and 5,000 fight fans.  An average night of fights will typically have seven or eight amateur fights and four or five professional bouts. 

Working with both amateur and professional fighters has helped Carolina Fight Promotions develop fighters.  Some of the fighters that have come through include Brain Baker (WEC), Nissen Osterneck (WEC), and Brandon Garner (TUF).

On Saturday October 24, Carolina Fight Promotions will host their seventh event, "Carolina Crown 2".  The night will feature seven amateur fights and eight professional fights.  The "Carolina Crown" is considered to be the Superbowl of Southern MMA.  Scheduled for the main event of "Carolina Crown 2" is a fight between former "Ultimate Fighter" contestants Vinny Magalhaes and Lance Evans.  Also scheduled to make an appearance is UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie.
