A Wild New Spin On MMA
“I’ve been doing my homework on these foos and I already know we’re gonna see some sick fades in La Jaula,” said Lil’ Mr. E, the founder and face of the Los Angeles-based Foos Gone Wild.
Combate Global CEO Campbell McLaren added that this fresh concept puts a highly entertaining spin on sports. He believes it will uncover future stars who might otherwise completely go unnoticed.
“This event puts a fun spin on the sport of MMA, but I think we are also going to see the emergence of a few potential future stars that we wouldn’t necessarily have had an opportunity to look at had we not created this event with Lil’ Mr. E and Foos Gone Wild,” said COMBATE GLOBAL CEO Campbell McLaren.
