I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone. Thanks to the sponsors, the coaches, the other promoters and teams that came to support, thank you to my wonderful staff - from some of the 1 time volunteer helpers to my longtime friend and announcer to my right hand man and glove crew, cage crew and everyone else that you know who I am referring to as staff - thank you to my family for being there through this roller coaster of a ride this business is, was and always will be, thank you to the officials and the athletic commission, thank you to God for giving me the gifts and knowledge to do what I attempt to do day in and day out, thank you to each and every single fighter that has made us what we are today and make history, thank you to the fighters that competed at #100 and to each and every single fan through out the years and the ones that came out on Saturday night to Iowa Challenge #100. It was much more then I could have dreamed of it being and everyone made it what it was. At one point I checked my news feed (which I dont always do very often) and as many of you know, I normally have between 4,990-4,999 friends (you max out at 5k) and just before the event started, there were over 50 consecutive posts about Iowa Challenge 100. Thats incredible. I certainly hope that everyone enjoyed the event. I feel bad that we didnt have monitors in the locker room for the fighters to be able to watch the pre show. Matt and Jason at StrikePimpMMA were great to work with during all the preview shows and the highlight video at the start of the event was something very special. Maybe we can get it posted at some point somewhere. Anyways, thanks again for all the media push and everything you guys did to make the event a major part of our history. Most people dont know this but Iowa Challenge almost went out of business after #2, looking back now, I cant imagine what life would have been like 13 years ago had that happened.
