Fightsport was in whs when I was there a few weeks ago.

Re rob. I left a moaning message on their answer machine because they hadnt sent me some stuff. Rob phoned me up and apologised. I said it's cool just wanted to kick you up the arse to get things moving. He stated quite clearly that no one kcks him up the arse. I giggled and pointed out that it was a metaphor.

He was cool though. We chatted for about half hr. He asked me what I thought of the mag and what would like in it. I said that a preview of up coming fights with fighters With stats and some selected opinions on each fighters chances. He said yeh that's cool , Ill have a think about it. Low and behold. The following month they had exeactly that in the mag and it's been in every month since. I was quite chuffed.

I also said that I wanted to know more about Brit fighters.

Cheers for the support guys.

I honestly believe that both ourselves and Fighters Only make a great magazine. They've obviously been around longer and have the name and fanbase but we're doing our own thing and not simply trying to be a ripoff of them. The competition is great and therefore we both have to constantly up our game.

We do like to think we deliver content to cater for the educated fan as well as the UK stuff as that is our roots - UK MMA.

Can't go far wrong with either (or both ) and the UK FightSport has now ceased trading as far as I know.

I still buy mma unlimited usually. Fightsport is crap. Very out of date. I think its originally a French mag.
It's an american magazine based in Paris, as far as I know (yes, I found it strange as well). Don't think I've ever seen it anywhere but I've checked it out online a couple of years ago.

I'm a FO reader, have been for almost 3 years and I like to stick with the original. I'm the loyal kind of audience, I stick to the original, first come first serve basis. I'll try to get both, but if I have FO and another mag on the stand and I have to chose one I'll go with the first, unless the other mag has something reeeeally appealing.
I think one of the strongest points of the magazine is that regardless of who you are, a newcomer or an old timer (if there's such a thing in MMA), you can read the articles and fully keep up with what they're talking about. I also don't find it aggressive towards me as a female reader. Not that other mags of the kind are, but I find FO more accessible.

I agree on the price being high, I think everybody does, but any specialized magazine will be pricey no matter what their business is. They're not commercial mags, so they don't pull as much revenue from ad and copy sales (basically I've just told you what you already know ). That has put me off buying many issues, from either/both magazines but there's not much that anyone can do about it. Suck it up and skip starbucks once a month.

(I've just realised how much coffee grounds with milk cost. fuck. me)

Yup coffee is pricey. The mag is cheap compared to £2.40 I spent on one coffe in the services.

One thing that has taken over from mags is my iPhone. I usually pick up my phone instead of a mag these days. It's superb for browsing on the net. The mags are good for info that you would be difficult to come across on the net.

We don't put in pictures of scantily clad girls for that reason. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with it considering the main demographic for MMA magazines are young males but we're just not running with that particular angle. And believe me, if it was up to me we would. I'd spend some serious hours internet lurking and picking 'models' as a representative of the magazine.

Ahh, I can just picture it now....
