What We're All About at NutmegMMA.com
About the NutmegMMA.com Staff
This site is intended to provide news and features about Mixed Martial Arts with a focus on Connecticut. The sport, which is known as MMA, has a presence in the state despite not being currently sanctioned.
Content will include interviews with fighters, trainers and promoters as well as coverage of events at the Uncasville and Mashantucket Indian reservations where MMA events can be legally held. The site will also cover traditional martial arts and other combat sports as it grows due to the relationship between MMA and these subjects.
The direction in which the site grows is still being determined. Suggestions from visitors are appreciated.
