In what can only be described as a jaw dropping decision, the UNSW has decided that although they had sanctioned an MMA event onsite, they would not sanction a cage fight. Apparently we all have it wrong and MMA is not cage fighting. Based on this "misleading information" the Uni cited a tiny clause hidden in their contract whereby they could cancel an event at their absolute discretion and have decided not to allow the fight scheduled for October 5th to go ahead.
You have to know that this contract was signed and paid for in full THREE MONTHS AGO!
Do you think it may be a little political that they waited until only 7 days before the event to notify us? I guess that they thought with barely 7 days to go, 3 of them being a long weekend, they would stop the fight from pressing on.
I guess they have no concept of our fighting mentality. Push us and we are going to belt you, put a barrier in front of us and we are finding a way around.
Now I am not a religous man, but I have to think that divine intervention had to play a part in the fact that the York theatre at the Seymour Theatre Centre in Newtown was not being used this Friday -surely a miracle! Despite the fact that it made toilet paper of our budget, to postpone to a later date it would have been devastating to the fighters prepared to fight in a few days time.
In fact the York theatre is almost made to hold fights, with the stage in the centre of horseshoe shaped seating. The back rows are only 12 rows from the stage, making it an even better venue than before.
With only 6 days to the event word of the new venue needs to get out there. If you are reading this post try to imagine me on bended knees, tears in my eyes as I plead with you personally to let everyone know.
Please spread the word - X-Agon first round, this Friday October 5th now at the Seymour Theatre Centre, corner Cleveland St and City Road (almost behind the Aquatic centre where the BJJ comps are held).
If you need further details call me on 0402 335084.
I hope to see you there.
