GTFP30 What a great show it was to celebrate our milestone.
As always , first things first , a huge thankyou to all our sponsors. As always , without you , we just cant do this !!!
The lead up to the show was tarnished by drop out after drop out after drop out. It 100% was the unluckiest show we have ever had, 10 fights dropped in 1 day !!!! Even our own gym , intensity , suffered with injuries and all sorts of complications which in hindsight just make the eyes water.
Rematching was hard at such late notice and my thanks to the gyms that took matches at very late notice.
So to the show , a 9 card youth card , topped by a youth title fight , our second ever ....
Congratulations to Santi on the win.
The kids on who fought on the show represent the future and its in safe hands .
To the main card
My huge thanks to all those who helped make this show the spectacular it was , Nick Fadiora and the commision team of Aiden , Monty and Issac do an amazing job and it starts with them.
Thankyou to all the fighters , coaches and most importantly the fans for their patience .

Mark Lavington who is the most professional cage side supervisor that you ever want to meet. The 4 judges and timekeeper. Graham Thomas and Wayne Taylor the GTFP cut team , Kiki our ring girl, , Stourbridge web design for our marketing and online work Shaun Mint for his stunning photography.

As you can see , it takes alot of people to run this show but without you the fans it means nothing. Thankyou to everyone who attended the support from Intensity Martial Arts & Fitness was just fantastic , taking off the promoters hat for a second seeing the club grow and the support swell is just an amazing thing to see , thankyou team.
A special thanks to Jon Prentice for gaining his promotion wings. The matchmaking he helped to do with Dan was first rate and the writing of all the fight releases , press releases and all the surrounding chaos was taken in his stride. Glad to have him totally on board.
Last person as always is Dan Cassell who as head coach of team Intensity and promoter has a busy weekend. The matchmaking was totally brilliant , fights were so good and the day was memorable .... Thankyou Dan 💥
So from Me Guy , thankyou one and all , one for the memoirs !!!!
