“GYM WARS” coming to a city near you
GYM WARS
7.29.2016, Temecula California
A familiar face in the MMA Community, promoter/matchmaker Josh Griggs has created something that is both unique and something that the mma community has been missing. When you are a young fighter coming up in this fight game it is never an easy transition because you have to battle your everyday life plus when are you going to be able to step in the cage and sometimes the gyms that these kids belong to don’t have great equipment to help train these kids so they can fulfill their long life goal to get into a UFC, Bellator cage.
Now comes a long a concept called “GYM WARS” what brings this to life is that here it will pit two MMA GYMS against each other JOSH GRIGGS with the coaches will pick the best fighters make a team for the respected gyms and the winning gym will win brand new gym equipment plus a possible fight on one of his bigger fights.
Now, I was able to sit down with the mastermind behind this unique opportunity JOSH GRIGGS.
TSW: Why Gym Wars, Explain this concept to the MMA Community
Griggs: This is all about giving back to the gyms, helping gyms that produce these talented fighters, now it’s time for the fighters, to step up and defend their turf. Fighters get paid and the gyms get new equipment and cash money. I have seen to many legit coaches and gym owners go out of business. It is time to help them out and keep them in business.
TSW: In the promo piece you mentioned the bigger the fight, bigger the prize. Explain?
Griggs: Meaning if you give me a solid pro fighter or a very popular amateur fighter. I will offer a more expensive piece of equipment.
TSW: What are you looking to get out of this?
Griggs: I am looking to help out gyms with equipment and money in return for live fights. The main focus of this show is the GYMS and the back story.
TSW: 2 years in the making, why now?
Griggs: Because I have ADD, I had too many other projects that I was working on, so decided to just focus on this one!
TSW: Anyone interested in picking this project up yet?
Griggs: I am looking to create a buzz first, then present it. I have proof of the concept, now I am working on showing that there is an interest.
TSW: Thank you Josh Griggs for your time
