On twitter i recieved a tweet by Warren M. Jackson (@knuckleslap) that I thought would be good food for thought.

His tweet stated:
“As a MMA promoter, how do you reward your fans? What current promotions are you running? How are your sponsorships activated?”

This statement stuck in my head for a bit until i got a facebook update by another martial arts promoter I follow Brian Cimins (@grapplersquest) . I haven’t seen any official site stating this, but he is running a very interesting “Compete Free for Life” video submission campaign on facebook which i feel is a great use of social media.  I haven’t seen the details of the campaign but from the little i heard it has a lot of promise!

Here is the message i got on Facebook from Brian Cimins:
