Gavin Singh, President of the Guyana Mixed Martial Arts Federation (GMMAF), opined that the construction of a modern combat training facility will significantly advance the development of the discipline within the local jurisdiction of Guyana, as well as the Caribbean.
This sentiment was expressed at the IMMAF Youth Coaching Seminar which was recently staged in Trinidad and Tobago.
According to Singh, who is also a member of the Pan American Mixed Martial Arts Union with responsibility for South America, “The construction of a modern mixed martial arts facility to host and accommodate visitors would have a significant positive economic impact on the Caribbean and Guyana.”
He stated that the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) decision to construct a modern training facility in Mexico City should serves as an example of institution’s drive in developing the discipline within the Latin and South American region, noting that this decision was definitely predicated on the fact that Mexico has an established tradition in combat sports, and that the region is a burgeoning hub for MMA.
