The Kombat USA Big D Beatdown #6
2025-05-31 | Southern Junction Texas, 101 N Rogers Rd, Irving, TX, 75061, United States
Ok back to ALL MMA ALL the TIME for Big D Beatdown #6, set for Saturday, May 31! The Big D Beatdown is just too big at this point to keep the submission grappling portion of the event. We had some amazing grappling performances, but we have to get back to MMA.
Always something new…we have a new video production partner! Clear Life Media will be bringing multiple cameras to include walkouts, a variety of angles, sophisticated graphics and better audio! It will be PPV this time, but it will be worth it! I doubt we’ll even be able to cover the cost for these guys with the PPV buys, but they make everything look so cool that we think our remote viewers will love the change. Roughly 3 weeks following the event, our team will be able to share the entire video for FREE on the Warrior Martial Arts Academy YouTube Channel. Check out www.clearlifemedia.com/bigdbeatdown for more information. You’ll also be able to buy highlight reels from them.
Another new item…we’re going to organize the event using a Prelim Card (including a Featured Prelim) and a Main Card (including a Co-Main Event and Main Event). Invitations for the featured matches will go to athletes that have exhibited exceptional performances over the past few BDBs. We’re also looking at options to provide a judge’s SCORE, even though we cannot officially declare a winner. I’m not 100% on how that will work yet, lol, but we are trying to find a way. Please recall that we are an exhibition.
And wow…the Performance Bonus checks were really well-received last time! Definitely running THAT back!
Participants will be ages 6yo – 17yo. Remember that we are the ONLY event that is fully sanctioned by the USA Mixed Martial Arts Association in DFW. USAMMA is the largest youth MMA governing body in the United States.
As always, BDB #6 on May 31, 2025 will be at our “home away from home,” the fantastic Southern Junction Texas venue in Irving, TX. TONS of space! HUGE, raised CAGE! FULL multimedia experience (walk out music, lights, massive viewing screen, DJ, announcer, commentators, PPV, etc.), GREAT café for food and drinks!!
Register NOW. Limited spots available for this event. SIGN UP EARLY to save your spot and get a discount. Spectators will have access to the whole event. See the attached flyer for details, and register at: https://smoothcomp.com/en/event/23000 today!!
