“It’s all about developing our Youth” said Cignoli. “MMA training has a huge impact on young lives. These youngsters, wherever they’re from, get to interact with their heroes and then, when they go back home and train with their friends and communities, they become heroes in their own right. We are literally providing an alternative to the streets, and our guys are working to achieve their best.”
