Tampa, FL, Oct. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- B2Digital Inc. (OTC:BTDG) (“B2Digital” or “the Company”) today announces that HRMMA Fight Group CEO and retired Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Vanessa Higdon was recently honored with the 2019 Danny Davis Lifetime Achievement Award by the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission. The awards ceremony was held in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sept. 23.
The Danny Davis Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes individuals with outstanding achievements in the area of combat sports in Kentucky. Previous winners were the namesake Danny Davis and Muhammad Ali (posthumously).
“Vanessa’s longevity within the industry is matched by her dedication to advancing combat sports, mentorship of Kentucky youth, and community and civic engagement.

Higdon’s career in MMA started in 2003 when she began working with other fight groups to support the business side of live events. In 2006, she became an MMA fighter and fought in several events until she retired from fighting in 2008 and started the HRMMA fighting company. Under Higdon’s leadership, HRMMA was the first fight group to become part of B2Digital’s B2 Fighting Series.
“It is a dream come true to receive the Danny Davis Lifetime Achievement Award and to have my name beside incredible people like Danny Davis and Muhammad Ali. My sincere thanks goes out to the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission for this honor,” said Higdon.

“Vanessa is one of the top CEOs in the MMA industry and it was a proud moment to watch her win this Lifetime Achievement Award. She does an excellent job operating HRMMA and developing MMA in her area. This is one of the most exciting parts of leading B2Digital - to work alongside and mentor Vanessa and the up-and-coming CEOs in the B2 Fighting Series,” stated B2Digital chairman and CEO Greg P. Bell.
