Manager
At age 30, Tina Vidal-Smith is one of the most respected Mixed Martial Arts managers in South Florida - and arguably the country. With a roster of local and national talent (including Jorge Masvidal, Thiago Silva and Jeff Monson), the Miami native has been charged with taking fighters to the next level, and does so with grace and poise.
"My partner (Ray Gonzalez) and I saw that fighters in South Florida had a need for structured career management and guidance, so we created ML Management Group about a year-and-a-half ago," Vidal-Smith said. "A lot of these guys had the talent, but needed someone to focus on marketing and promoting them and booking fights. Their job is to train and fight. My job is make sure they keep doing so."
Vidal-Smith said a lot of her clients are from referrals; ML Management Group does not actively recruit.
"My clients stick with me because I follow through on what I say. I have a no surrender attitude."
