What are your thoughts on this? I think if anyone knows the business of MMA enough to start something up, its Bas. I think he will do well, and wish him luck.

Yeah, why not! Hope everything works out for him in his new venue/promotion. After all, imho, it's all about the bottom line!!

The best of luck to him.

I concur, I hope it goes well. There need to be more leagues out there to develop fighters. There's a pretty good gap between most promotions and the UFC. Some intermediate steps would be good for the progression of up and comers.

And I like Bas, I'd like to see it make a go of it.
