Finally!

Slowly but surely, FightSport has been building a reputation. Step by step, country after country we have become the world’s no. 1 MMA magazine.

Our most recent step was to launch FightSport in the UK, which leads to our big announcement. In reply to constant pressure from you, the fans, from next month onward, you will be able to get twice as much FightSport, because your favorite magazine will (Finally!) be on shelves every month.

 With some magazines, when they double their output you get half the content, you don’t have to worry about that with FightSport. The MMA scene is growing so quickly, and changing so dramatically that you will be getting more every month. Just look at this issue, you’ve got more news, gossip and insider info’ than ever before.

We’ve also got the FightSport book of MMA records, more wins, more fights, more titles... They’re all in there. FightSport also brings you a world exclusive—Randy Couture and Fedor Emelianenko training together. Never before seen, just like FightSport.

The Ultimate Fighter began as a simple reality show, a means to give our sport more exposure to a wider audience, but today it has become the unofficial purveyor of UFC contenders such as Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans, Josh Koscheck and others. The show changed the destiny of MMA forever, by exposing the sport to a new audience, it was the catalyst for the mass mediatization that we are experiencing today. FightSport broke down the first six seasons in our special investigation. Far from the Spike TV cameras, from deep in the heart of Russia, comes another champion. Fedor Emelianenko, the champion of champions and we have an exclusive interview with him and his manager Vadim Finkelstein as we try to unravel the enigma that is Fedor. Enjoy!
