Bob “The Beast” Sapp
Fight Engine’s Head Conductor
LAS VEGAS – Combat fighting legend Bob “The Beast” Sapp is firmly stationed in the corner of www.FightEngine.com, the newly launched state-of-the-art website that’s revolutionizing the way mixed-martial-arts fighters market themselves, promoters and managers scout talent, and fans become real matchmakers.
“I’ve seen too many greedy promoters during the time I’ve been involved in fighting,” Sapp explained why he’s involved in Fight Engine. “Every fighter wants to be a star and each promoter wants to take advantage of fighters. Nobody was really helping fighters. We’ve decided to stimulate that effort through fightengine.com. The body has several features like arms, legs, etc. We’ve chosen the hand to demonstrate Fight Engine’s philosophy. On our logo, fighters are represented by fingers, and together they form a strong fist. Fight Engine is a sign of the times with all of the latest technology enabling promotional companies to search worldwide for their next stars, while spending little money and without leaving the comforts of their offices. In the future, we hope to offer retirement and health packages. This is the first union of MMA fighters, but we have to take things one step at a time. Our early success rate has been very positive.
“For MMA fans, we took fantasy fighting – like fantasy football – into reality through Fight Engine because they can vote for whom they want to watch fight, passionately discuss potential fights with other fans, and determine the people’s fighters, top entertainers and champions all in one. People are not just spectators because, through Fight Engine, they pick fights they want to watch, as opposed to boring fights or mismatches that have, unfortunately, become the norm today.”
FightEngine.com works for a nominal fee with any and all MMA promoters and fighters to gain International notoriety. Registered fighters from around the world, whether a veteran or novice, may post his or her video and challenge other registered fighters, allowing each participant to accept or deny challenges, as well as express their semi-uncensored opinions about any posted challenges.
FightEngine.com is non-discriminatory, providing male and female fighters, as well as ring girls, opportunities to gain invaluable exposure on the website. Promoters and managers are already closely monitoring fightengine.com to scout for their next street fighting prospect.
In a similar manner by which Kimbo Slice went from underground Internet legend to a high-profile MMA fighter, fightengine.com offers an opportunity for some selected MMA fighters to earn a guaranteed five-figure purse, sign a potential six-figure promotional contract, paid travel expenses and, in the not too distant future, hopefully, other life-changing benefits through membership.
Fans can get in on the action, for free, simply by registering on the website to become quasi-matchmakers, picking fighters they’d like to watch in matches, in addition to commenting about fights other spectators propose.
A thermometer can be found on the right-hand side of the website, which will illuminate on a rising basis, according to the amount of registered fighters, and subsequently fights will be arranged when the thermometer reaches its apex.
Once there are enough fighters and fans registered on the website, FightEngine.com will serve as a tool to arrange fights on a super card, guaranteeing purses of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000.
FREE OFFER: The first 100 applicants who register on www.fightengine.com are eligible to receive a complimentary posting of their 5 MB videos for the first six months.
Future plans include a “KO the Pro” section where a top level fighter will be posted as other fighters vie for selection in a “KO the Pro” match-up. “The initial ‘KO The Pro’ is me, ‘The Beast,’ and anyone who wants an opportunity to fight me must submit their videos and let the web-voting audience decide if you are tough enough to take me on,” Sapp concluded.
