Naciones MMA hosted their first show in March of 2021. The Mexico-based combat sports promotion has hosted six events over the past year, with their latest card coming up this Friday in Monterrey. While the promotion has yet to operate outside its home country, the eventual goal is to expand to hosting shows throughout Latin America.
A longtime trainer and talent scout, Eduardo Vargas has been a fixture behind the scenes in the MMA world on the West Coast. Now, as part-owner of Naciones MMA he’s focused on bringing fans exciting new fight cards.
Vargas was kind enough to talk to Bloody Elbow about how exactly this new stage started for him, some of the challenges of running an organization in the region, and what the future might look like.
