Is it just me, or does posting this a month and ten or so days before the actual competition seem a little quick?

Not that I'm competing, but still. Is anyone going? Anyone have any of their athletes going?

Wow, a cma forum and not a single response....

mma sucks... lets see where that gets us.

I would have entered if I am 20 years younger and not injured.

Have fun meeting friends from different countries.

Winning the friendships and being part of it worth more than anything else.

Everyone is a winner.

Its a small group (or click)

But in reality its just bad management. Very unprofessional.

could you imagine the Golden Gloves doing such short notices?

But this info has been out there for a while just not in the mainstream where it might attract some people.

From what I have seen of who is going, almost all the active fighters that have a snowballs chance in hell at worlds are going to be there.

Worlds is not for the new or casual competitor.

I’ll let you know how it goes, I’ll be the ref for all the team trial fights.

So, how'd it turn out?
