The UK has always been on the cusp of new music, leading the way and innovating. It was only a matter of time before MMA began to nudge its way into their music as well, and here we have the first band to truly capitalize on the sport, a group called “Coalition Fight Music”.

 

The music video, shot on location in London, England was filmed mainly at the prestigious Troxy Colonial Theater hours before Ultimate Challenge 18. The premise of the video follows an extraterrestrial humanoid creature crash-landing in a forest and making his way across the city of London, walking straight into a Professional MMA Bout. The opening sequence of the video had Action Journalist/Professional MMA fighter Mark “Wartime” Carling being buried alive and naked in a muddy trench. The video ends with actual broadcast footage of Carling’s fight at UCMMA 18.

 

“We fancy ourselves as Ambassadors of the sport,” said Tony Savo, CEO and Producer of the group. “Were always looking to showcase the sport in the best light and take MMA to the mainstream. We cant think of anything better than a music video to bring MMA to the next generation of fight fans”.

 

Well known for taking a Mixed Martial Arts approach to their music. The Coalition (CFM) mixes elements of Rock, Rap, UKG and Dance music to create hit singles much like a Professional MMA Fighter mixes Boxing, Mui Thai, Wrestling and Brazilian Ju Jitsu to win fights. The band’s passion and zeal for the “Fastest growing Sport in the World” has taken them all over the globe with appearances on ESPN, BBC’s Channel 4, Sky Sports and even landed them a spot on the sound track for the upcoming video game Supremacy MMA. Their previous release, “The Album” or “MMA’s 1st Mix Tape”, featured skits/cameo’s from UFC alumni Phil Baroni, Pat “Hype or Die” Barry, Gerald “Hurricane” Harris, “Big Sexy” Sean McCorckle, Strikeforce’s King Mo, Travis from MMA Scraps Radio, and ESPN/Tapout Mag’s Adam Villarreal.
