Due to the great number of emails coming in from all over the world, the promoters of Capital Challenge International got in touch with GRACIEMAG.com to provide great detail on the event. "Our website should be up this weekend. Enlisted athletes so far have reached 200 among white, blue and purple belts. This historic event will have state-of-the-art organization, making it a one-of- kind attraction. The event has already confirmed local and international TV coverage as well as all major Grappling and MMA Magazines will be present", says event's promoter Zaid Mirza.
"Our idea is to make an event, not just a tournament. We have contracted the biggest event management and event production in the Middle East. The fight areas will include Light, Sound, and Video show. We want to help all our overseas colleagues to make it to our country, we are trying the best we can. This was the reason behind such a high prize for the Brown and Black Belt categories. We want to bring everyone. Even third place participants will be incredibly rewarded", states Mirza.
