American Idol meets MMA
LAS VEGAS (April 21, 2009) – The revolutionary www.fightengine.com is like American Idol meeting Mixed Martial Arts.
The newly launched state-of-the-art website is changing the way MMA fighters market themselves, much like singers auditioning for American Idol, and participating Fight Engine fans can act like Simon and Paula, criticizing video-posted fighters as well as arguing with other fans regarding which fighters they want matched against each other.
Promoters and managers, through Fight Engine, now have a brand new way to scout talent as fans develop into real matchmakers.
Future plans include a “KO the Pro” section where a top level fighter will be posted as other fighters vie for selection in a “KO the Pro” match-up. The first “KO The Pro” is living legend Bob “The Beast” Sapp, one of the key advisors for www.fightengine.com.
“I’m really excited to be involved with this venture and I’m looking forward to being the first ‘KO The Pro,’” Sapp said. “I’m going to be getting more and more involved in Fight Engine because I believe that it’s the future right now. I’m not done fighting, either. Wherever I go and whatever I’m involved in, I will be bringing Fight Engine all over the world with me. If I’m fighting for a particular company, you can bet they’ll know all about Fight Engine.
“Right now, my focus is on introducing FightEngine.com to promotional companies all over the world, explaining how they can use it as a state-of-the-art tool to scout talent from anywhere on the planet without leaving their laptops. There are so many great fighters out there that haven’t been discovered, yet. With Fight Engine, though, no more excuses about not knowing for fighters, promoters, managers or fans.”
FightEngine.com works with any and all MMA promoters and fighters to gain International notoriety. Registered fighters from around the world, whether a veteran or novice, may post his or her video and challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.
A non-discriminatory source providing male and female fighters, as well as ring girls, FightEngine.com offers opportunities to gain invaluable exposure on its popular website. Promoters and managers have already started closely monitoring fightengine.com to scout for their next street fighting prospects.
Fightengine.com also offers a unique opportunity for some selected MMA fighters to earn a guaranteed five-figure purse, sign a potential six-figure promotional contract, paid travel expenses and, in the not too distant future, hopefully, other life-changing benefits through membership.
Fans can get in on the action simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, in addition to commenting about fights other spectators propose.
A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which will illuminate on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters, and subsequently fights will be arranged when the thermometer reaches its apex.
Once there are enough fighters and fans registered on the website, FightEngine.com will serve as a tool to arrange fights on a super card, guaranteeing purses of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.
