The Cayman Islands continues to grow as a major destination for key sporting events. Following the recent success of the recent CARIFTA games and championship squash tournament the Kenny Florian is due to visit Cayman to promote mixed martial arts here and to give sports tourism a boost.
The MMA star, who comes in from Boston will be holding a series of seminars in conjunction with Fast Defence and karate instructor Bob Daigle. Florian will also be at Aqua beach to meet fans for one hour prior to the screening of UFC 115, June 12th. Jason Moir, manager there, said: “Aqua Beach is really excited to have someone of Kenny’s caliber visiting us. I’m a big MMA fan. He is not just any UFC fighter but one of the best in the world.”
This could be the start of a number of high-profile fighters that are likely to come here to enjoy themselves. “Hopefully, coming here will turn into a regular place for them” said Moir.
“It’s going to be great, very exciting,” Florian said. “I’m really looking forward to it. I don’t know too much about Cayman but I do know it’s beautiful and I’m looking forward to the response and sharing my knowledge with MMA fans there. I’ll be checking out the island, relaxing and going to the beach”
Lets hope he is more entertaining than ex heavy-weight Boxer Frank Bruno, who did a talk at Fidels saturday night !
