In today's episode we had the pleasure of talking to one of the best MMA promoters in Midwest, Mark Slater! He gave us the breakdown about the start of his fight promotion, Colosseum Combat. How he went from fighting in a cage, to booking some of the best talent in the region! Off that, he also gives us some great insight into the process of finding new venues and what it's like to deal with booking fighters. With some big changes coming in the form of new locations and great opportunity, this was a very fun interview!  He also talks about his newest venture with his sports cards and memorabilia store. In which he's already doing monthly card shows, bringing professional athletes in to do signings! We are super thankful that he gave us a few moments of his time. If you are in Indiana and want to see high quality MMA in person, be sure to look out in Feb. and April for the next Colosseum Combat events. We hope you all enjoy! Please give Mark a follow for updates on future events and also give the pod a follow on what every platform you use. Thanks!
