AREA ATHLETE RECEIVES
NATIONAL CONTRACT SIOUX FALLS, SD – (November 12) -
Ben Nguyen, of Sioux Falls, SD, has recently signed a three fight Mixed Martial
Arts (MMA) contract to fight in the Palace Fighting Championship or PFC, based
out of Lamore, California. The PFC has recently signed over twenty new fighters
to its roster, in an attempt to make the organization one of the top MMA
organizations in the world. The new fighters include former Ultimate Fighting
Championship (UFC) fighters Gabe Ruediger, Alex Schoenauer and Jason Von Flue.
Ben has a record of 10-2 and
competes in the 125 pound weight class. The PFC is considered the premier event
at this weight. “I am very excited to be able to
showcase my skills. I want to be considered one of the top fighters in the
world. The PFC offers the opportunity to prove that I can compete against the
top 125 pound fighters in the world,” said Ben. Ben’s fights will be broadcast
to millions of homes through the Comcast Network and online publications, like
Sherdog. Ben has been training at
PFC President, Christian Printup, had this to say about their TV deal and the new signings: "We are going to bring the PFC brand, our fighters and our Fight-Club-Meets-Night-Club atmosphere and deliver it into over four million living rooms. From a business standpoint it helps us tremendously in terms of sponsors and after-market opportunities. It helps the fighters who are featured on the broadcasts in terms of their sponsorship revenue and it's great because it means more MMA on basic cable for fans of the sport." He added, "I’m very excited to be able to bring in the talent we’re announcing today. We have said from the beginning that we’re not here to take over the sport, consciously take away from anyone’s market share, or anything like that. We just focus on making the PFC the best we can and today’s announcement is another step in the process. I am a firm believer that if you spend more time worrying about what other people are doing and not your own product and fan base then you’re doomed. I cannot wait to get some of these guys on TV in a hurry!” # # #
