New Era Fighting’s KIMO offers to rescue CSAC
IRVINE, California (February 2, 2008) – In New Era Fighting’s (NEF) continuing
efforts to help clean-up the mixed-martial-arts industry, combat fighting legend and
the face of NEF, KIMO Leopoldo, has decided that he is in the best position to
fulfill the Executive Office Position of the California State Athletic Commission.
Keeping in tune with President Obama’s call for much needed change, KIMO formally
applied for the CSAC job last week. “There are so many areas of the CSAC that needs
more organization including simple things that most people do in their everyday
lives. For example, providing promoters with receipts on CSAC letterhead would be a
good start. From my past experiences, the CSAC had its receipts written on any old
receipt book that you can buy at CVS. That’s certainly no way to be accountable.
Additionally, I want to make things fairer and more reasonable for all members of
the MMA and boxing industry. I believe there should be a cut-off date for fighters
to register to fight, in order to properly allow for reviewing of medicals and
proper analysis, as opposed to making last minute changes that has unfortunately
been the case in the recent past.
“I am fully dedicated to my sport and all related sports regulated by the CSAC.
Everyone is free to read my application letter (attached here). MMA is in a fragile
state in California and it needs guidance. I have had my ups and downs in this
industry but, overall, I have 14 valuable years of real life experience in MMA and
Kickboxing that nobody can take away from me. Arnold Swartzenagger became Governor
of California with little or no experience managing in the political arena. Like
Arnold, I’ve never claimed to be a saint. However, unlike Arnold, I already have
extensive experience for the position I have applied for. I think Governor
Swartzenagger is doing a good job and I hope to follow in his path.”
