First off I’d like to thank Sean Rockwell, Chairman/CEO of Prime Athletics Corp. for helping our site to grow in the coming year. WesternMassMMA.com is pleased to have attracted so much attention, but continues to look for new and exciting ways to bring only the best MMA action to your screen daily. Prime Athletics Corp. is dedicated to bringing you the best gear and apparel as well as supporting great fighters. It is a struggle for most people to find the time to train hard enough and long enough to reach the ranks of professional athlete never mind pay for that training. Prime Athletics Corp. sees exceptional athletes all around. They sponsor a growing number of young men, hopefully women someday soon as well, in their endeavor to reach the apex of the MMA world, The Ultimate Fighting Championship. The gear, clothing, and monetary investments they make for each fighter is done for the benefit of the sport. To deepen the ranks of contenders for our enjoyment as this sport grows within our communities and the Commonwealth.
I’d like to take the time now to recognize those fighters that represent Prime in the cage and the ring and also to give you all some background on Prime which has helped them to stay on top of the MMA scene for the past two years.
