History
According to Mike Miller, X-1 World Events founder, his main reason for founding X-1 World Events is to help the fighters showcase their skills. He saw the potential of many fighters and how hard they train yet there was little to no promotion in Hawaii that holds fight events regularly. He believed that martial arts were Hawaii’s way of life since the beginning. Miller treasures the “cultural aspect” of MMA and worked hard to unite elite amateur and professional fighters from all over the islands, as well as in the mainland, and later from Japan.
