We're one of the strongest events on the platform. We have a monthly call with them where they fill us in on what they need from us, what they want from us, how we are doing.Īnd we're doing very well. We have regular communications with them. So I guess for the last… Since 2019, when we did the October Melbourne event, Eternal 48 debuted on Fight Pass, we've done 14 shows with the UFC. So I kind of happened upon this business world, but as I am noticing now, it takes time to establish these business relationships and stuff. I competed, and then just by natural progression, I ended up owning an academy, coaching fighters, and then running an MMA event. I'm a self-investing accidental businessman. So how have things evolved with the UFC from the last time we spoke?īEN: It's like anything in business really, I'm learning.

Kind of see now how you've got to deal with the UFC, but wanted to bring you on to chat about the new development that's happened. Real top quality production, great fighters. So Ben and the team run an epic show, Eternal MMA. And I was at… Actually, I just bought a ticket yesterday to Eternal MMA. You just got a deal with the UFC, UFC Fight Pass to have all your shows and everything featured. GEORGE: Well, last time we spoke, we were grabbing a coffee, but last time we spoke on the podcast, podcast 87, we spoke about Eternal MMA. I'm enjoying the sunshine in the backyard, so happy day. How are you doing today, Ben?īEN: Yeah, I'm good. Ben Vickers from Eternal MMA and Scrappy MMA. Welcome to the Martial Arts Media™ business podcast. It's hard work, it's good quality coaching, and it's teamwork. And they're prepared to put the work in, and it's showing. They want to be there, and they want to be the best.

I actually think the key and the secret is they're so close as a team that they all want to lift each other up. *Need help growing your martial arts school? Learn More Here.
