I interviewed Michael Lynch some time ago for a post I did on the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts. WAMMA is still around, and Mike has moved on to other things. I'm not much of a gambler, but I don't deny that gambling is a big part of fighting. This is Mike's new project, so check it out:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -
AUG. 28 ROLLOUT OF CHOKEOUTPOKER.NET BEGINS WITH 7-0 RECORD AT RECENT M-1 EVENT
ChokeOutPoker.net is a new hybrid lifestyle online poker brand that caters to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fans around across the globe. The site will make its official launch Friday, Aug. 28, to coincide with its sponsorship of "HDNET FIGHTS PRESENTS M-1 GLOBAL: BREAKTHROUGH", a live HDNet telecast airing at 10 p.m. ET.
The online poker educational site was built to appeal to the hip, old-school affluence and lifestyle personified by such iconic figures as Hugh Hefner, Steve McQueen, and Ernest Hemingway.
"Think Maxim meets poker meets MMA and that pretty much embodies ChokeOutPoker.net," said Michael Lynch, CEO of Templar Consulting, the exclusive marketing agent forChokeOutPoker.net.
ChokeOutPoker.net is currently accepting pre-registrations and will offer exclusive promotions featuring autographed MMA gear, fight tickets, and personalized MMA training sessions that will include some of the biggest names in MMA.
"Our close association with MMA will allow us to separate ourselves from the more traditional sites that often have a stale and stuffy atmosphere," said Lynch. "Choke Out Poker will have an edgier and more hip demographic that will offer its players a more relaxed community."
During its pre-registration period, ChokeOutPoker.net is currently offering a drawing to win signed fight gear along with a "Beat and Eat" training session lunch with MMA legend Pat Miletich.
Showing a strong commitment to the MMA community, ChokeOutPoker.net sponsored a total of seven fights earlier this month at the M-1 Challenge in Amsterdam, Holland. Thanks to strong performances of Team USA East fighters John Doyle and Shamar Bailey as well as Team England fighters Scott Hewitt, Simon Phillips, Matt Thorpe, Tom Blackledge, and Dave Keeley, Choke Out Poker fighters went a combined 7-0.
Rooting the fighters on in Amsterdam was Lynch, a former Chief Operating Officer with the World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts. Lynch gives Choke Out Poker a highly-visible marketer that is well-known and well-respected within the Mixed Martial Arts industry. A guest on such popular MMA shows such as HDNet's Inside MMA and Fox's Fight Game, is excited about his latest endeavor.
"When I was first approached by ChokeOutPoker.net several months ago, I jumped at the chance to be involved with the first educational poker site that combines the fun of free poker and the excitement of mixed martial arts," said Lynch. "My partner Ron Hansen is an avid poker player with tremendous industry contacts. It is a perfect fit for all involved."
