"Alliance MMA, Inc. (“Alliance MMA” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AMMA), the largest group of regional mixed martial arts (MMA) sports organizations in the U.S., announced today the return of professional MMA to San Diego, California. The Alliance MMA promotion Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) will hold their 64th event at The Observatory North Park on Saturday March 25th.

'We are particularly excited to announce San Diego as the venue for CFFC 64 in that it represents a critical next step in our stated effort to create and sustain a continuous presence in each of the top 20 domestic media markets,” said Paul Danner, Chief Executive Officer of Alliance MMA. “At some point soon, we intend to introduce a new, distinctive brand for our San Diego promotion, but until then, we plan to operate under the Cage Fury Fighting Championships banner. Regardless of the name, Alliance expects to produce an ongoing series of San Diego-based MMA promotions bringing the annual total for the Company to more than 60 events, with plans to eventually reach over 125 per year.'

As previously announced, Eric Del Fierro is the General Manager for Alliance MMA’s San Diego promotion, and he will handle a variety of tasks for CFFC 64, including matchmaking and operations..."

Ok, so what do you think of Eric Del Fierro's conflict of interest if he is a coach AND a matchmaker? He can engineer favorable matchups for his fighters just like the manager-promoter conflict, right?

This reminded me of this exchange, Raimondi never answered me:

Interesting point. From everything I've heard out of Eric he's more interested in just getting his fighters in the cage locally and more often rather than matching them up advantageously, but I think this show will probably be telling depending on if it's a bunch of blowouts or evenly matched fights. I'll be in the building so I'll let ya know!

Do you have a ticket connection or just buying them? I was also thinking about attending.

Interesting second time this season they go to a CFFC show I'm assuming since they just filmed at CFFC 63 last month also.

Tickets are still available for this show tomorrow night. For anyone interested Eric Del Fierro went on MMA Junkie Radio this week to discuss the card. Looks like 8 pro fights and 6 ammy fights as of Wednesday or so.
