 Rapid Fighting Championships has seen some changes earlier this month, and some have doubted where they will go from here. One thing is certain is that owner Jay Stanley and new operations manager Slade Sanders has made quick changes to bring it back from the brink. The RFC divisions were beginning to be bare, full of inactive fighters where managers had bailed and an uninspired roster where only a few names had been heard before. Even Jay Stanley's group of fighters couldn't help out the RFC as there was no one to fight, and not enough fighters to fill up a card. Stanley was contacted by an upstart who had opened a new gym in Tokyo called the Fire Pro Wrestling World Gym, a returning player from years before Sanders was keen on getting involved and hoped to help RFC grow. Sanders flew to Sydney and a business meeting occurred where afterwards hands were shaken and plans were formulated. Since that day the RFC has gained a new logo, new title belt, a 340K+ ID restriction, merchandise partnership with King Nutrition, and has secured many new talents while cutting ties to those that plagued the growth. Stanley and Sanders has developed a brand and opened the 265+ division as an open ID geared toward smaller weight class veterans that still have plenty to prove. The idea is to help the small org out with some decent hyped fights while also serves by giving them a place to continue to fight in a small division with a title to call their own. There is much to be done with RFC says Stanley, we can't focus too much on any certain fighter because we are trying to build that foundation, that special small group of fighters in each weight class that will carry the brand into the future. If we can build that, those fighters will all have a home and a place to grow into champions.
