PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOV. 23, 2009 - Mixed Martial Arts Expo, LLC - The Original MMA Expo since 2005 - announced today the appointment of the No Holds Barred Show as the Official Voice of MMA Expo Philadelphia taking place at the Valley Forge Convention Centre January 9-10, 2010.
The No Holds Barred Media Sponsorship includes a significant satellite and online radio campaign across a seven week period. The campaign comprises commercials, live reads and on-air interviews with show management and numerous MMA fighters and celebrities. NHB airs weekly from 8-10pm EST on Sportsbyline USA - America's #1 Sports Talk Show, Sirius Satellite Channel 122, The American Forces Network and online at www.TheNHBshow.com. The NHB team will also be onsite at MMA Expo to meet their growing fan-base.
NHB host and martial artist Pete Clement is pumped about the new relationship. "Just as we were the trendsetters in MMA radio 6 years ago, The Original MMA Expo can lay claim to the same. They were doing high quality expos long before the other shows even got into the game and they continue to set the pace. That's why we're completely stoked to be working with such a reputable and passionate organization like MMA Expo, to help further expose the fastest growing sport, mixed martial arts, to the greatest fans in the world! This initial event is just the beginning of a great relationship between the NO HOLDS BARRED SHOW and The Original MMA Expo."
"No Hold Barred is an outside-the-box production that works hard to deliver what the MMA fans are looking far", stated MMA Expo president Gerald Chopik. "Their list of MMA celebrity interviews is impressive and when you listen to the program you quickly realize they don't pull many punches. I like NHB's innovative and informative style and we're thrilled to be working with their team as marketing partners."
MMA Expo is co-located with the popular Philadelphia Sports Extravaganza. In addition to MMA celebrities and an exhibit show floor the event offers a true 'mixed' martial arts weekend with action-packed combative sports competitions including USA Boxing, Gi and No-Gi Submission Grappling by On The Mat and the USA Karate Open with the Tokey Hill Challenge. And for those interested in a career as an MMA official there's even a Referee and Judging Seminar by seasoned MMA official, Marc Fennell.
