I first off have to say that I am a big fan of Sherdog and what Jeff and the guys have done for the sport...I check in daily for news and to see what is going just like most of you guys do...and here is the official skinny..TapOut does not own Premier Fighter. They do handle our shipping and sales...and yes we look at the relationship as being a partnership. TapOut is huge. They have done amazing things for the sport and have sponsored and supported hundreds of fighters. We work very closely with TapOut and I feel lucky to be working with them. Again TapOut helps with shipping, sales, distribution, and we rely on them for assistance with marketing our brand. The fighters that we sponsor, the money that we have paid, the brand that we have created was all done by us at Premier Fighter. I am grateful for the fighters that we work with, our relationship with TapOut, and the fans that support MMA. Hope this clears it up.
