Live Interview: WSOF CEO Carlos Silva AUDIO ONLY
Carlos Silva reflected on progress made throughout his first year as the WSOF CEO:
"In a year, the WSOF has come a long way. We solidified the fighting foundation of the organization... We brought in some key media folks. We've integrated guys like Mike [Afromowitz], I think, in a much more meaningful way to the business. Being a media property, you need good communication. The thing about Mike is he doesn't just bring us PR and communications, he brings a deep knowledge in the fighting space and how leagues have emerged."
