    Art of War Getting Bigger

    http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...8573&zoneid=13

    Under the Patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, the Art of War Fighting Championship 12 “Invincible” returns to Beijing on May 23 at the National Olympic Sports Center Auditorium.

    HH Sheikh Mohammed will be inviting the world’s top MMA competitors, famous movie and television personalities, and leading sports and broadcasting industry leaders from around the world to be his honored guests at the event. In addition, a delegation of over 300 students, athletes, press representatives, and martial arts fans from the United Arab Emirates will also be in attendance.

    Art of War FC 12 “Invincible” will feature rising Chinese superstar Wu Hao Tian in the main event. The card will be rounded out by other emerging MMA talent from around Asia and the rest of the world.

    Established in 2004, the Art of War Fighting Championship is promoted by Adoria Entertainment Group, and is Mainland China’s premier mixed martial arts promotion. The Art of War Fighting Championship is broadcasted via satellite nationwide to a network coverage of 300 million viewers.

    HH Sheikh Mohammed, whose brother is behind the Abu Dhabi Combat Club World Submission Fighting Championship, is taking on a significant role in securing the future expansion of Art of War, beginning with the event on May 23.

    Congrats to Andy Pi! That's awesome!

    According to wiki "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces as well as next in line to President of the United Arab Emirates." Everyone has been trying to penetrate the Chinese market including many fight sports. K-1 has been really pushing to get in lately. The prince not only has the bank, he has some serious political clout. UAE is an oil rich Persian Gulf nation that's not at war with the west. They are very cooperative, a major player in OPEC and participate in the United Nations. As I often say with the fight sport industry, follow the money. Looks like Art of War now has some serious bank. This is very exciting for MMA in China.

    BTW, here's the Art of War website.

    Nothing is harder to see into than people's nature. The sage looks at subtle phenomena and listens to small voices. This harmonizes the outside with the inside and the inside with the outside.

    Didn't this event already happen?
    It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.
