Last weekend, we set 7 of our fighters down to christchurch for UFC 2024. It was a great weekend, awesome fights with awesome people! Thank you so much to the event organizers, everyone who helped make the weekend possible, the non combatants, and of course, the other fighters. For many of our fighters, this was their first international tournament, so the sportsmanship and camaraderie that other fighters showed was amazing, so thank you, everyone!
Thank you to our cameraman Skye Hooper
