    Aspire.

    The Crypto is going very well. That said, back soon folks. <3 To the people who remember. <3 To the people who supported Rei, Tom, TJ & GBK while I was gone. Tunes for the rest of you. 2018. Unrestricted.
  2. Aspire MMA Update - 21st September 2017. Hey folks, I keep putting this off so I figure I best just get it out the way. I wanted to make a big grand post that made this seem somewhat less unfortunate but the reality of the situation is that I have spent most of my time over the last few weeks dedicating myself to crypto currency's and as a result write-up's for our events have not been done on time or in some cases at all, that is not the standard of effort you have all become accustomed to and it's not the standard I want to set for Aspire, but the unfortunate reality is that I have found a way to make significant strides towards a better prospect for my family in my real life with this situation and that has become more of a priority over time. What does this mean? you might of noticed a number of your favourite organisations have announced closure of late including Bushido, SFU and HFC, I'm sure you are expecting the same from me now I paint such a grim picture of things, but I want to assure you all Aspire MMA is here to stay, I love this game with a passion and while I can no longer commit to the multiple hours a week spent doing the write-ups I can promise you all that the running and operation of Aspire MMA will be no less than the very best you have come to expect, no lack of commitment or effort will be spared when it comes to that, and to ensure the future of Aspire MMA I'm proud to announce the following. The Expanse. As of the 20th of September 2017 we have purchased and closed the StrikeForce Union and have sent all existing fighters of note contracts to join Aspire MMA, in addition to this we have negotiated and secured deal to acquire Bushido 290k and the services of it's current leadership, Rei Rei and GBK to the Aspire MMA staff with Rei Rei taking control of day to day operations while I maintain my position as CEO of the company with a view to ensuring quality of service, GBK will be taking an advisory role during the transition period to help Bushido members find contracts at Aspire MMA. To address some concerns since GBK does hold a number of fighters within the organisation to date, if anyone does not wish to fight GBK's fighters during this time please feel free to decline the fight offers, it's not our policy to have someone on staff who is actively fighting in the organisation and we will look to filter this situation out over time, but for the moment his position at Aspire MMA is transitional and then he will be moving onto another yet to be announced project alongside Aspire board member Tom Bickle, he will not at any time be involved in the booking process for Aspire MMA while still under fighter contract, on this you have my solemn word. With Tom Bickle, TJ, Shiv, Rei Rei and GBK all working together to make sure the greater Aspire collective is providing the very best experience the game has to offer I can be assured the continued prosperity of the brand and organisations, I dare say this is one of the strongest teams ever assembled for such a task and I'm proud to be working alongside them all daily to reach the very top of the game. What Rei Rei brings to the table I know many of you already understand he's the best unrestricted org manager litteraly in the game and he ran such an amazing ship over at Bushido that heavily inspired Aspire MMA that I could not pass up on the oppertunity to work with him directly, he will be everything I was and more, trust him as I do please folks of Aspire MMA, his word is my word now. And About Them Write-Ups Adam? Honestly one of the main reasons I started an org in the first place was to tell my little storeys, I never got burned out doing them, it wasn't that kind of situation I still love doing them, I still love seeing the replies I get from you guys ingame and on the forums when I say something funny about your fighters, I still love doing video packages and all of that stuff, I just cannot commit to doing it every week and since I'm pretty sure nobody else is going to give them the love I do I think its best I just confirm what everyone suspects that they will no longer continue on a two times a week basis, or even a weekly basis. The plan going forward particularly since we will have a confirmed 8 events per month with all of the extra fighters we will be picking up is to go ahead and do a month retrospective on the general discussion section to attract more viewership and cover the moments that really matter in as much detail as we can, efforts will most likely be a collaborative effort between myself, GBK and Rei Rei as we hope to provide the most anticipated thread of the month, every month with a quality distribution that covers everything that's going on across the Aspire campus. I understand this is far from the effort displayed to date and I hope you will forgive me, I love this. I love all the support you all gave me to get this far and I do feel I'm letting you down in admitting this but I have to focus my time into something else in that regard to be completely honest with you all. This will in no way affect the quality of the organization, that I promise. And the ID range elephant in the room? So we have made no secret of our intention to take Aspire MMA unrestricted in the new year, we looked at our current situation, almost all 280k fighters with a handful of 275k fighters we mostly picked up from OMEGA of late as a sort of test-run, that worked out fine and most 280k fighters were happy to fight the 275k guys without issue, but now that we are adding a full pool of 290k fighters to the mix (or at least the ones who skill wise can hang with 280k fighters) we want to make it very clear that our intention is to push back Aspire Unrestricted until Summer 2018 and going forward we intend to stop recruitment of all fighters under 280k ID, this unfortunately means we will cease to offer contract extensions to 275k ID fighters currently hired to Aspire MMA over the next few months as their deals run down. We want Aspire MMA to be the very best organization in the game, its so rare we get a fight decline or have issues with any manager and I'm so thankful for that mentality that has grown here in Aspire MMA that has helped us become top of this ID range, next stop the world. TL;DR Sorry for the lack of write-ups. They are going monthly now. We acquired SFU & Bushido and will be settling in Rei Rei as the Dana White type soon. I'm now more of a Lorenzo Fertitta, but I'm still here and I still love it. edit: PS we also moved to London (-:
