Take-ON $10,000 Tournament
I got this notice from Take On Promotions and it looks like big things are happening in New York. Yes there is indeed real Muay Thai on the east coast of the United States but it honestly isn’t well publicized or too much of it goes on largely unnoticed. I am going to make my own endeavors to correct that oversight.
I like the looks of this event for two reasons: 1. Not much in the way of independent sanction pandering that I can detect (just a small notification that WKA sanctions these fights)and 2. The much neglected 140lbs weight class will be showcased where I always felt the competition internationally is at it’s best and most contested. The poster pretty well cover all the particulars anyone may want or need to see the fight and get tickets so I am just going to break down some of the card that I know about.

Eddie Martinez(5 Points) vs. Ben Yelle(Swanson Muay Thai)
