Previously the public face of the MMA social networking site, The Yacman returns cage-side, to call the fights live and ask questions later
Ontario/Los Angeles, CA--May 11, 2009—Eight months after the downfall of the MMA Promotion, EliteXC, Ron ‘The Yacman’ Yacovetti, the face of the company’s social networking site, ProElite.com, has signed on as a cage-side commentator for the new Mixed Martial Arts Promotion, Clean Kill “Call to Arms I.” The promotion starts Saturday, May 16th.
This fledgling promotion, the product of a partnership between CleanKillClothing.com and The Luminous Group, will air on both the Spanish television network Univision, as well as online at www.fight5.com as an exclusive MMA, internet Pay-Per-View (PPV) Event.
What: Call to Arms I
When: May 16, 2009, 5:00pm
Where: Citizens Business Bank Arena; 4000 E. Ontario Center Parkway, Ontario, California 91764
The Yacman says his years working for ProElite.com helped prepare him for Call to Arms I by giving him priceless opportunities to interview numerous MMA fighters, develop relationships within the community and do fight commentary for the King of the Cage and Korean MMA Promotion, Spirit MC (Spirit Martial Challenge).
“I'm so excited and I can't wait for May 16th,” says The Yacman. “This fight card is stacked. There will be no shortage of action to call. I'm confident that Call to Arms I will generate a lot of interest in Call to Arms II and III and beyond. This is how you make a first impression count.”
Ron Yacovetti, better known by his nickname ‘The Yacman’, has remained heavily involved in the MMA Community since the fall of EliteXC, writing articles for TheBleacherReport.com, The Yacman Sez Blog and ProElite.com. He has also been regularly covering MMA events in the Southern California area for his web series MMA with Yac & J, a comedic slant on MMA News which uses humor to keep the sport positive as it grows more mainstream.
The Clean Kill “Call to Arms” promotion is slated for three shows in 2009, starting May 16th with subsequent events to be held in August and November of the same year. Ron ‘The Yacman’ Yacovetti is on board to call the action live, cage-side, as well as conduct the post-fight interviews with the winners, inside the hexagon-shaped cage.
