In a sport in which fight promotions constantly seek ways to stand
\nout from the pack, a Mexico-based startup has set its sights very
\nhigh indeed.<\/p>\n
In comparison to many other sports, mixed martial arts is still in On May 30, a new innovation will be introduced to the sport, as Speaking specifically of mixed martial arts, Mexico City is the In speaking about his upcoming event, Aeternum CEO Dylan Marino \u201cDuring a conversation with a friend named Misael, we were \u201cOur goal is to make a new alternative in Mexican mixed martial The first edition of Aeternum Fight League takes place on May 30 at Bantamweight: Diego

\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> established its dominance three
\ndecades ago with its iconic name, trademark eight-sided cage and
\ncatchphrases like \u201cAs Real As It Gets,\u201d would-be rivals across the
\nglobe have looked for innovative alternatives. Those efforts have
\nranged from interesting experiments like YAMMA Pit Fighting<\/a>, the brainchild of UFC co-creator
\nBob Meyrowitz which took place in a concave bowl-shaped enclosure,

\nhighest city where organized MMA takes place on any regular basis
\nand easily the highest the UFC has ever visited. However,
\nAeternum\u2019s organizers plan to outdo even those events: Aeternum 1
\nwill take place at the Mirador, a tourist destination on the 46th
\nfloor of Mexico City\u2019s World Trade Center. That location promises a
\nbreathtaking view of the city\u2019s skyline\u2014and will add another 803

\nabout branding and attention. However, his comments made it clear
\nthat the promotion itself is no gimmick, but a well-planned effort

\nbrainstorming for innovative ideas on how we could come in with a
\nnew approach,\u201d Marino said. \u201cHe mentioned hosting an event at the
\nMirador in the World Trade Center as it could be a record-breaking,
\ninnovative event due to the height of the building. We did our
\nresearch and confirmed it would, indeed, be the highest event in
\nmixed martial arts history. I give him all credit for the idea. We
\nwill have a full production team on hand as our event will air on
\nHi Sports TV and will also be streamed live on our official YouTube
\nchannel. Due to the setup, we will only have capacity for an
\nattendance of approximately 300 people. However, for future events
\nwe will look to expand the capacity.<\/p>\n

\ncompete and showcase their talents on a new high-level platform.
\nNow we are focused on making an impact and marking a difference in
\nMexican mixed martial arts. Once we accomplish that, we will be
\nlooking to expand to across Latin America.\u201d<\/p>\n
