Interview with MarQ

As we continue our interview series with people who are using Twitter to make a change in Womens MMA we are very fortunate to be able to bring you an interview we conducted with MarQ.  

MarQ goes by many names and wears many hats online but I am sure throughout this interview you will get to know MarQ a little better and probably even go "Oh I know that guy".

So without further a due lets learn more about MarQ and what an awesome job he is doing to further Womens MMA.

Some Quick Questions with Miesha Tate

I caught up with Meisha Tate earlier this week and asked her a few questions about Womens Mixed Martial Arts, Strikeforce, and how her training is going.  This is what she had to say.

Could MMA Become An Olympic Sport

Read the article and let me know what you think.  I think Mr. Garcia is on to something here.  I have often pondered this question and I think this is something that is doable.

I am sure as the author states in his article that there would need to be some standardized rules that everyone could agree upon but I think that is something that can be accomplished.  Also I agree that this could breath new life into the Olympics.  I would love to see MMA be added to the Olympics and have the best of USA compete against all the other countries of the world to see who takes home the GOLD!!!


But I do have some questions and maybe you folks can help me get some different points of view.

Do you think this is possible?
Do you think this is something that we will see in our lifetime?
What do you think has to take place in order for this to happen?
Do you agree with Mr. Garcia's assessment of MMA? and the Olympics?
If you are a fighter would you be interested in being in the Olympics if they had MMA as an event?
 

New York Continues To Fight Against MMA

Sad news today for Mixed Martial Arts in the State of New York.  It seems that according to the article below that the state of New York isn't ready to accept Mixed Martial Arts as of yet.  It is also sad that New York will not be cashing in on the potential 23 million that MMA could bring into the state.  We at SchenkMMA are sad to hear this news for the effects it will have not only on MMA in New York but also all of the fighters that call New York home.  If you have a minute to read the article please check it out.
