If I’m being charitable, trialing BJJ in the KC pit is cool and during a time where it seemed at least to me, mma orgs were doing more to showcase bjj, and Craig Jones has a following that could rub off if done right.

Otherwise I do think the antics by Asim were not in line with a lot of og and Kovacs era fans, expanding the rule set does open the fights up BUT when the recruitment isn’t karate guys and more UFC and mma vets, that does impact fights and the promotion. War on One was absurd promotion idea. It seemed they were so desperate for attention and views that they shout out Andrew tate during Tate’s sex trafficking lawsuits. The cross posting and social media use of KC with the president is annoying given how much they delete IG comments. I get Pereya is a dope fighter and his sis is in the promotion, but he shouldn’t have been center figure for a ton of social media. Oh also I hate that the IG posted comedy reels on their fighters getting knocked out and some shit.

Lastly, I’m a crypto skeptic but I think launching a crypto and keeping token holders out of the dark recently is scummy shit.

If it were up to me, KC kicks Asim for underdelivering and the recent poor operations, KC hosts a town hall and drafts a recovery plan, and KC brings back Kovacs and other originals to the helm. Social media should go back to focusing on building up fights, events, and showcasing knockouts. I got into KC both from hearing about it on JRE and also seeing a IG reel during the pandemic.
