Nemesis Fighting: MMA Global Invasion was a mixed martial arts event promoted by Nemesis Fighting. It was originally scheduled to take place on November 13, 2010 in Punta Cana, La Altagracia.[1] [2]
Controversy
The event was postponed to avoid a storm the new date for the event being December 10, 2010.[3] The company also promised a "live" internet stream of the fights on December 13, 2010 but that did not happen.[4]
The event has been marred by accusations that fighters were not compensated.[5]
Keith Jardine has been accused of greasing in the fight,[6] they had no judges and the time for the rounds were kept by a mobile phone.[7] John Dodson claimed his fight with John Moraga lasted 17 or 18 minutes. “It was unorganized," said Dodson. "They didn’t have anything well put together.”[4]
The promotion reportedly owed at least $233,000 which was never paid. The case has been taken up by the U.S. Secret Service.[8]
Nemesis Fight Promotions has not hosted an event since and their website has been suspended.[9][8]
