HOOKnSHOOT is gearing up for the second women's event featuring the best female fighters in the game and many new faces!
"The women have taken the second show much more seriously and so have the fans" states promoter Jeff Osborne.
"Although they made an impact at the first event, I personally felt that casual fans (ticket buyers) took them lightly. Most local fans who didn't attend it live were mad at themselves.....they were expecting slap fighting and they were more than impressed when we showed the event on TV" said Osborne.
"The DVD opened up a whole new world for MMA. The women are taken much more seriously, more fans will watch because of the women and even some VERY important people in the entertainment industry have taken notice" continues Osborne.
"One look at the Revolution DVD and Arnold Schwarzeneggar Expo organizers were sold. There's so much more mainstream interest the women can bring than the men but no one wants to admit it."
This time around, many feel the lineup is stronger and support for female MMA is more rampant than ever before. Looks for UFC standouts Josh Barnett, Matt Hughes, Jens Pulver and other familiar faces at the show. Pulver may be a little more stressed than usual as his "better half" AJ Jenkins will be competing.
"Evolution" will be broadcast on PPV in South Africa and Japan as well as other countries. It will also be shown on regional UPN affiliates in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.
