OT: Your opinion is needed!

[TonyStarkFan]

I have the opportunity to work with someone on helping to create a fight magazine based out of Las Vegas. For those of you who are mixed martial arts and boxing fans, what are some of the things you would like to see featured in such a magazine? We want this to be different than most of the publications out there. Your help would be appreciated.

training regimens

indepth interviews

philosophical underpinnings of the individual fighters

diets- off season, training, days up to the fight

breakdowns, with full photos, step by step instructions of sweet takedowns and locks

[all bout da Bene]

up and coming amateur stats

I've always wanted to hear more about their family life away from the ring and stories of their lives before like what they went through growing up.

 

I came into this thread thinking it was a "Blonde or Brunette" question and was going to suggest Redhead

MMA for women fighters? Is there such a thing yet?

 

That's something I would tune into

As someone who worked in the magazine business, I say do your research before going into this blindly. News stands are ever shrinking and circulation continues to plummet. Make sure you can line up the advertisers.

I have a friend here who has gotten big into promoting/announcing/judging at these events and has been putting his efforts into a magazine as well. Seems there will be lots more of them soon. Limited audience buying them I would say.

[Monstro]

lots and lots of boobies

I'd like to see a section on cockk fighting and dogfighting.

- Interviews that talk about how the fighter got into MMA and maybe talk about their first few fights, first loss, first big event fight, etc.

 

- More "Day in the Life" stories

 

- All interviews should include the complete fight record (especially if Sherdog is missing some fights)

 

- List of who they would want to fight

 

- Tuturial for some of the less common submissions

Begin with a billion dollars, then start a new magazine.

No doubt. When times get tough, this is one of the first things cut out of a budget. Given the impact the internet has put on this industry already, it's extremely brutal at this point in time.

 

Not trying to on your excitement. Just a big shot of reality.

Thanks for everyone's opinions so far. They have been very helpful. This is just in the beginning phases. We may just decide to publish everything on the internet. Not sure yet though.

 

And yes there are female fighters too. Kim Couture and Gina Carano are based out of Vegas. And Gina is one of the hottest fighters, fight wise and looks wise.
