NAMMAE is currently talking to several large museums looking for one to potentially house the collection. The founder of NAMMAE, Brian Paul Jaus, stated that the UFC has an incredible Hall of Fame but the only problem is it only honors UFC fighters and not the rest of the organizations. The new MMA Hall of Fame will house memorabilia from all mixed martial arts organizations.

There is also discussion of naming Bruce Lee as the first inductee into the new Hall of Fame. Jaus feels that Bruce deserves the spot and had this to say about the martial arts master himself.

"I don’t think anyone in the know in this industry will argue and many people will feel that this move is long overdue. When I first bought the Tao of JKD as a teenager, I was reading the blue-prints for modern mixed martial arts as we know it today. I mean… who was talking about ground fighting as an augmentation to stand up 30 years ago ? Bruce was. He called it Jeet Kune Do, but anyone looking with the eyes of today knows what we have come to call it. The answer is Mixed Martial Arts. The modern story of Mixed Martial Arts begins with him, and so will the MMA Hall of Fame."

The NAMMAE Trade Show and Convention is the global epicenter for buying and selling everything mixed martial arts. It is a place where MMA enthusiast and companies from all over the world come together to represent all of the different aspects of MMA including apparel, equipment, media, athletes, leagues etc. For information visit NAMMAE.com.

Owned is a new mixed martial arts movie that will feature such fighters as Jason Miller, Shonie Carter, Dean Lister, Cung Le, Din Thomas, and the Rua brothers Shogun and Ninja. For more details visit ownedentertainment.com.
