Tampa, FL – September 22, 2017 – United Fight Alliance (UFA), a Sports, Media and Entertainment Company comprised of fight promotions across the country and abroad, has joined forces with the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations USA (WAKO).  On Saturday, September 30, 2017 at 7pm CT, the U.S. National Kickboxing K1 team will compete against the Canadian National Kickboxing K1 team at Tennessee State University in Nashville, TN.  The WAKO Team USA Kickboxing: Team USA versus Team Canada event can be streamed here and UFA will broadcast the fights on its television networks reaching over 100 million homes.

UFA’s CEO Jay Adams stated, “UFA loves the opportunity to support Team USA and WAKO. I have had the pleasure of commentating a lot of kickboxing events in Europe and can tell you the teams there are extremely tough. This is one of the top sports in Europe and their fighters spend a lot of time training. It’s great that Rob Zbilski and his remarkable organization are dedicating resources to develop a strong USA team.  We are thrilled to be a part of it and look forward to broadcasting all their fights.”

“We are very excited about this first time ever WAKO live Kickboxing event in Nashville TN – USA vs. Canada. I am thrilled to announce that this exciting battle will also be a livestreamed pay per view event followed by a delayed televised broadcast. I can’t think of any team we would rather face-off against than the WAKO Canada Team. Be sure you save the date and come out to support our national kickboxing Team.” says Rob Zbilski, President, WAKO USA Kickboxing.
