FNF Promoter, Justin Blair said ?When we started producing the 8 man tournament in New York we knew we were breaking new ground. Our commitment to providing our fans with the best possible fights required us to go far and wide to bring the best we could to compete on (both of) our tournaments and this one is no different. We have fighters from Canada & throughout the US?. When asked about including West Coast fighters in the tournament, Blair added ?We?ve inquired with a few but many seemed to be ?unavailable? however we hope to have that region represented as there is such a strong base of Muay Thai there?.
