MMA World Expo Panel: "Past, Present, Future of Mixed MArtial Arts" Audio

As you may know, I participated on a panel on Friday along with Eddie Goldman, MMA Reporter, NHB News, Edward Anthony, President & CEO, New York Jiu Jitsu, and Dorian Price, professional MMA fighter, contestant on the Ultimate Fighter 6, and instructor at New York Jiu Jitsu. 

The Panel, "Past, Present and Future of Mixed Martial Arts," fittingly focused on New York’s place in the battle to legitimize (and re-legalize) MMA.

Eddie Goldman was able to record the panel for his No Holds Barred radio show.  Please note, however, that the audio is not perfect because Eddie could not connect his equipment to the audio equipment at the Javits Center.  All-in-all, the audio came out pretty well.

For those of you who could not attend the Expo, it included a great display of businesses in the MMA industry, including many local businesses, a number of seminars put on by experts from their respective disciplines, and included a muay thai and grappling competition.  

With the help of teacher David Grodsky and through the New York Mixed Martial Arts Initiative, we were also able to bring four high school students from East Harlem to the to the Expo so that they could watch the muay thai tournament and gain exposure to the sport. 

I will be addressing some of the specific topics of discussion from the panel in an article this week at MMAPayout.  For now, here is the audio courtesy of Eddie Goldman.
