Further proof that Mixed Martial Arts is becoming a worldwide phenomenon. Keep in mind these promotions are not on a par, in terms of production or quality of fights, with Pride or UFC, but hey, the sport is taking over the vorld! Mwahahaha! (All right, I’ll calm down now ...man, that was dumb)
In Mexico, we’ve got MMAX

and in China, there’s the Art of War.
For all you Sun Tzu freaks out there: “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.” Learn it, love it, live it.
Even South Korea's getting into it with SpiritMC, a promotion some have described as similar to the now-defunct PrideFC:
And, in the land where vale tudo started, Brazil, there’s going to be team-based MMA, similar to the U.S.’ International Fight League. Established fighters like Wanderlei Silva, Pedro Rizzo and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will coach teams of fighters for the MO Team League.
Sorry, I don't think there's a Web site for this one yet, but if anybody comes across one, let me know.

Yes.
Are posts about MMA relevant when they have a local angle?
Sure.

No.
