Lewiston, Maine (Marts 30, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, dag annonceret ansættelse af tidligere Bellator udøvende Sam Caplan as the company’s new Director of National Business Development. Caplan has signed a contract to work exclusively with the promotion in the New England states through his consulting company Combat Sports Media (CSM). The new position within the organization was created specifically for Caplan.
“At tilføje en tredje direktør til denne blanding var afgørende,” sagde NEF promotor Nick DiSalvo der er medejer kampen fremme med matchmaker Matt Peterson. “As we’ve grown and the TV deals have been offered and we get more and more calls from big name fighters looking to fight for us, it’s become a lot for the two of us to handle along with the regular day-to-day operation of this business. Sam has been at the national level for a long time. He’s probably one of the top-five most experienced people in this country working at the highest stage of MMA event promotion. He is a major asset to our company. We are extremely fortunate to have him with us.”
Caplan var vicepræsident for Talent Relations for Bellator fra 2009 indtil 2014. Prior to that time, han havde arbejdet for Fedor Amelianenko M-1 Global forfremmelse, Titan Fighting Championships, and also worked in television for CBS and Showtime developing the first broadcasts of EliteXC and Strikeforce. I 2013, han blev kåret som en af de “Top 20 Mest indflydelsesrige mennesker i MMA” ved USA Today og en af de “Strøm 20 i MMA” ved Fight Magazine. He currently hosts MMA Insideres Podcast sammen med Jason Floyd.
“Combat Sports Media er begejstret tilføje New England kæmper for sin kundeliste,” sagde Caplan. “Jeg har set NEF aktiviteter indefra og ud, og jeg grundigt imponeret. Creating a regional fight promotion that can sustain itself is no small fete in today’s MMA landscape. In a short time, Matt og Nick har gjort et fantastisk arbejde voksende NEF til et punkt, hvor det konsekvent sætter 3.000 plus fans i sæder for sine arrangementer. I also believe that NEF hasn’t even yet scratched the surface with regard to its growth and CSM looks forward to playing a role in the promotion’s evolution.”
This will not be the first time Caplan has worked with NEF. Caplan worked on a co-promotion NEF undertook with Bellator in March 2013.
“Arbejde med Sam er altid en fornøjelse,” stated Peterson. “Jeg har kendt Sam i flere år nu, since he created 5OuncesofPain.com. There is no one more respected at the national level in MMA. Sam’s presence is going to be a game changer for both the promotion and the athletes that compete for NEF.”
