Fighter Showcase

#23 Welterweight Alec Owlett

22 Years Old from Calgary, Canada with a pro record of 7-0 (1-0) as a Mixed Martial Artist.

 

An all-rounder, Alec Owlett is perfectly capable of engaging in striking, wrestling, or a battle on the ground. That said, his versatility comes with a price in that he isn’t particularly threatening at anything and is vulnerable against specialists.

<strong>Review of 2003</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The year started off slowly, but we slowly built up to 1 show a month which has been our main way of earning money. Grenadier is now making a profit and has a bank balance of $300,000 which I think is pretty good after 2 years of trading. We crowned new champions and some stars have emerged including Featherweight Freddy Lomax who is still undefeated. </p><p>

The biggest disappointments have been losing fighters to bigger organisations, but Grenadier isn’t currently at the stage of being able to offer exclusive contracts.</p><p>

All in all, a good year with plenty to build on and plenty more to come.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Going Forward</strong></p><p>

The plan for 2004 is to keep the divisions we have and not add any more this year.</p><p>

As the number of fighters on the books has grown we are looking at adding small shows in European country’s every couple of months as well as our main shows once a month.</p><p>

Our aim this year is to upgrade the company status, so we can offer exclusive contracts.</p><p> </p><p>

A big thank you to everyone who takes the time to follow the Grenadier story. Any ideas on what you would like to see is welcome.</p>
