Im There for the VA. Tryouts. When I was stationed at Bethesda Naval Hospital they wouldn't give me time off to fight now here's my chance, now that I'm out. This is great.
Brigham, of course its publicity.... anything done outside the base is for publicity.
I think its a great idea, my only concern is just about any military trained MMA fighter ive ever seen is pretty bad... and i'd hate to see the services not look so good in a public arena like that
Hopefully, some Prior service guys that have gone on to accomplish some things in MMA get in there.
