AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTING(sm) CREATES MMA MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM
http://www.boxinginsider.com/mma/stories/146290014.php
DENVER, COLORADO – Denver-based mixed martial arts promotion American Championship Fighting(sm) (ACF) has signed an agreement with two Colorado area promoters to create an MMA minor league or feeder system.

Both Rocky Mountain Bad Boyz, which runs an all-amateur MMA show in the Denver metro area, and Round 1 Promotions, which operates its all-amateur production in the Colorado Springs area, have united with the ACF(sm). As part of the agreement, the two promotions will produce a series of shows that allow their athletes the opportunity to fight for a 1-year contract from the ACF(sm). That 1-year contract ensures the winners the opportunity to become professional fighters at the ACF’s show in February of 2007 and affords them the luxury of training full-time as professional athletes.


The more leagues the better. As the sport continues to grow, there will be amateur tournaments and fights to televise.
