Seattle, WA (August 27, 2014) — Super Fight League, Asia’s leader in MMA today announced their expansion and accelerated the growth of the Super Fight League brand in North America. The new venture will be named Super Fight League America in partnership with Brian Halquist Productions, Inc. and AEUTV, LLC and will be funded through a partnership created by all entities.

The new venture will kick off on October 4, 2014 at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington. The principals will provide enhanced marketing, sales and television production as they build a new series of MMA fights rolling out in 2014. The venture will produce world class MMA entertainment to be distributed via broadcast and new media platforms.

“We are very excited to partner with Super Fight League. There are few if any MMA brands in Asia more respected than Super Fight League as they conquered the largest media market in the world and proved they had both vision and expertise. We are proud to be able to align with them on this new venture, which we think will take their core business built in Asia and expand it exponentially on a global basis, starting in the USA,” said Brian Halquist, President of Brian Halquist Productions.

“Brian’s long term relationship as a fight promoter with the Emerald Queen was proof positive that we had found the right partner with our growth plan in the USA. The fact that he has had an 18 year history, the longest running combat program with any casino in North America, showed us not only his savvy business acumen but also the stability and trust he has garnered in the market as a world class promoter. Super Fight League America was facilitated by digital entertainment executive George Chung, advisor to Super Fight League since its inception. George’s expertise in global distribution of digital media was instrumental in formulating our vision of expansion,” stated Raj Kundra, CEO and Chairman of Super Fight League.

Super Fight League America’s first fight will feature 2 up and coming fighters in the main event featuring CageSport Bantamweight Champion, Cory Vom Baur 7-2 vs Victor Henry 7-1. Henry is coming off a huge win in Japan against seasoned veteran of the cage, Hideo Tokoro.
