HOOKnSHOOT established in 1994, running MMA since 1995 (second only to the UFC) – It seems the MMA scene has been overtaken with a plague of more shows than fighters.
It’s seemingly impossible to put together even 10 fights anymore. No one wants to fight out of their own show or comfort zone. And new promoters (some of whom have never set foot on a mat or trained a day) don’t seem to be doing anything to compensate amateurs for their hard work or even care about anything other than making money.
Many mismatch their shows so their “own guys” will win. We’re here to promote opportunity for fighters with PROPER matchmaking and a future.
If you want to be a part of something LEGITIMATE that leads to better things, we hope you take a look at our 15 year history and the careers spawned by HOOKnSHOOT (AFC Florida/USMMA/ADCC North American Trials/UFCF Washington).
Just do a brief search of HOOKnSHOOT in Sherdog’s Fight Finder to find that Mike Brown, Hermes Franca, John Fitch, Travis Lutter, JZ Calvan, The Nougeira Brothers, Frank Mir and a host of others all got their feet wet right here.
The belt below is a REAL belt. The belt is MASSIVE and I take pride in our champions and don’t slap $60 belts on someone for the sake of having a “champion”!
Looking for several weight divisions (men and women) for 4-person tournaments. YOU GET TO KEEP THE BELT!
- 10/17 – (170lbs spot open) still need single fights at 155lbs and 205lbs
- 11/28 – (145lbs is full) single slots for 125lbs amateur woman 155lbs amateur male
We will also begin sponsorship bonuses. Best amateur fighter, KO, submission and fight of the night (winner/nonwinner).
The person winning the most awards at the end of the year will receive additional sponsorship (MATCHING ALL THE AWARDS HE/SHE RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR). We offer television coverage regionally in the U.S., airings in Japan (Shooto Sanctioned) and spots on larger amateur shows in Las Vegas (TuffNuff with all expenses paid). FREE consultation for fighters (ANYTIME)

What should I do if I am a fake amateur fighter?
Is Jeff Osborne still owner of HooknShoot? Man knows ALOT about MMA
Thomas Campbell (11-2) out of SSF Clarksville will be fighting on this card and maybe Zack Hicks (5-2) as well. I’ve had guys fight for Jeff in the past and he puts on a great show. Looking forward to the show.
