New Era Fighting signs
14 MMA
Warriors
SANTA ANA,
California (January 29, 2007) – New Era Fighting (NEF),
the evolving mixed martial arts organization, signed 14
fighters last week in preparation for its inaugural
show, tentatively scheduled in May, NEF president Ron
Kort announced
today.
The
NEF stable is led by combat fighting legend Kimo
Leopoldo and ex-porn star Aaron
Brink. Newest team members include Liron
“Da Icon” Wilson, Frederick “Death Wish”
Steen, Christopher Scheminder,
John “Machine Gun” George, Joel “Felon”
Garcia, Rick Arballo, Luis
“Spooky” Figueroa, Eric
Denham, Ethen Cox, Mychal
“Bolo” Clark, Alan Garcia
Castillo, Oscar Borboa, Marlon
Timothy Bonds, and Sean Belote.
“We
held our New Era Fighting tryouts on December 26 with
intentions of competing in the mixed martial arts
industry,” Kimo said. “Our foundation is based on, ‘By
the fighters, for the fighters.’ As a 13-year MMA
veteran, I pioneered the path and direction of the sport
of MMA. Promotion was limited during these years.
Fighters have been ripped off and taken advantage of.
Not only does this affect fighters, it also distorts the
truth for audiences. The time has come for New Era
Fighting. What is New Era Fighting? PURE
FIGHTING
– 100-percent
PURE,
based on a no influence policy. This means no
favoritism, no fixing, no corruptness, and no
exceptions:
By the fighters, for the fighters. In New Era
Fighting, not only will fighters have security in a
long-term contractual agreement, fighters will actually
receive a purse percentage of the company’s earning at
the door like a stockholder of
sorts.
“In
terms of actual fighting, the audience can expect faster
paced, more entertaining fights due to subtle
differences in company policy. At New Era Fighting
tryouts, much to our surprise, we had a unique
aura/flavor that took us in a different direction than
we initially intended. It was as if I rewound the clock
when I walked into the octagon with a raw
heart-driven essence. In that spot, on that day, a
phenomenon occurred. We witnessed pure fighting! There
wasn’t a single imitation
involved.
All contestants possessed a 100-percent fighting spirit.
Whatever their motives may have been, the bottom line is
they all came to fight. It was sick! I couldn’t believe
the tenacity and aggressiveness that they displayed,
which brought us to a new conclusion: One can learn
skills but one cannot learn heart. Every one of the
fighters we’ve signed had this important characteristic
in an unequaled quantity. Heart means tough and tough is
what we got. One hundred percent heart; pure fighting,
New Era Fighting. Watch
out!”
NEF
is like the UFC meets the WWE. Fighting will be real but
storylines outside of the ring will be scripted
towards driving interest in the next event, much like a
soap opera. The violence in the ring, however, is
guaranteed to be brutally real and non-scripted in
anyway.
”Kimo sums
it up best,” NEF president Ron Kort noted, “when he
says, ‘All the fighters NEF signed displayed
character….the fighting just needs some touch up’. These
fighters were informed that they signed for an
opportunity, but they still need to prove their
worthiness in the upcoming months. They all not only
have a love of the sport, but also raw talent that makes
it so attractive to watch them fight. Our first group of
fighters gives NEF a great stable of possibilities. I
look forward to working with these guys over the next
few months to see who really has the drive instead of
just saying they have the drive. I wish them all good
luck and look forward to seeing them succeed in our
upcoming Toughest Man Contest, as well as a few
other events where their abilities will be on display
for the world to watch.”
