B2Digital Gains Official License to Expand B2 Figh
Post# of 1774
Tampa, FL, Sept. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire --B2Digital Incorporated (the “Company” or “B2Digital”) (OTCMKTS:BTDG), the premier development league for mixed martial arts (“MMA”), is excited to announce that the Company’s application for a promoter’s license has been approved by the Kansas Athletic Commission. B2Digital is now immediately eligible to hold and operate fights in the state.
The B2 Fighting Series also has received an official fight permit from the Kansas Athletic Commission to hold its first LIVE MMA B2 Fighting Series event. The event will take place on November 21 in suburban Johnson County, Kansas, which is located in the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan Area, under the newly formed “Blaze MMA” brand, which is solely the property of B2 Digital.
“We continue to aggressively pursue geographic expansion in terms of our LIVE event footprint, and our move into the Kansas marketplace will tap into a wealth of value and continue to drive exciting growth for our brand and shareholders,” commented Greg P. Bell, Chairman & CEO of B2Digital. “Kansas has a tremendous MMA, fitness, and live sports culture, and we look forward to building our new Blaze MMA brand of the B2 Fighting Series in the fighting sports community.”
Management notes that the Company is now licensed in eleven (11) total US states. The Blaze MMA brand has been created specifically for this expansion step. This business model is different than in the past where the company has typically acquired an existing fight brand for expansion.
This new model allows the Company to capitalize on its proprietary operational, technical, and intellectual property assets, along with the Company’s current gym and fighter relationships, to receive the MMA fight license and fight permits from the state. This approach will lower the cost of expansion on a state-by-state basis by eliminating the initial fixed cost investment of acquiring an existing fight group.
Adam Roorbach, Executive Director, Kansas City Athletic Commission, added, “We are excited to bring the B2 Fighting Series into Kansas for compelling live sports action. We are constantly working to attract MMA sports organizations to bring their events to Kansas, and the growing success of the B2 Fighting Series made it a natural choice. Kansas has become a destination for some of the top MMA organizations in the world, and our tremendous fight fans are a large reason why. We also welcome the exposure that B2Digital will bring as it broadcasts Kansas-based live events out to the world. The KAC is committed to the health and safety of all involved, and will work with B2 Fighting Series to ensure a healthy environment for all.”
