Mashantucket,
CT – 8/31/2012 – Thanks to the generosity of the Combat Factory and Seven Stars
Global Entertainment, veterans and active duty military groups have received
a gift of 1,000 tickets to the World Cup of Mixed Martial Arts (WCMMA™) and The World Mixed Martial
Arts Championship (WMMAC) Super Fight Series at Foxwoods Resort Casinos' MGM
Grand Theater on September 15, 2012. These tickets were a joint purchase by Seven Stars and the Combat Factory,
both having a desire to make a lasting impression and to promote goodwill. The
tickets are being distributed to various veteran and military groups, and
will go to honor and empower the warriors of the United States Armed Forces.
When asked about his motivation for such a gift to our
servicemen, Rob Carucci, CEO of Combat Factory responded, "regardless of
who is competing against who, both our veteran organizations and groups that
support our active duty servicemen are trying to make a positive difference in
the lives of people who have put themselves in harms way, and we recognize
this. Being a disabled veteran owned
company, we know that those who served enjoy the sport of mixed martial
arts.” Carucci continued saying that
“for us providing these special people with an opportunity to experience the
World Cup of Mixed Martial Arts is an honor, as we know that the spirit of the
WCMMA is to foster good sportsmanship and to build positive
relationships."
Bruno Wu, Chairman of Seven Stars was also very proud to be
one of the sponsors of the gift stating "it isn't everyday that you get to
help and recognize groups that support veterans and servicemen. This is exactly
the kind of spirit we are trying to foster through the mixed martial arts.”
Edward Catucci, Director of the WCMMA
said, ”I personally salute both Rob
Carucci and Bruno Wu for showing leadership and the desire to make a
difference. We see mixed martial arts as a powerful force to bring people
together and to build good relationships."
The first ever World Cup of Mixed Martial Arts™
will be held at Foxwoods Resort Casino’s MGM Grand Theater on
September 15 as Team Portugal challenges Team USA, and Team China
