We have the unique ability to continue to cultivate relationships, the most important aspect of success in this industry. Our relationships are groomed by our staffing talent, which contains a virtual who's who of respected industry professionals. Others have tried, but few have been able to logistically create and manage the relationship network GPG has amassed since 2011. When coupled with GPG's commitment to social responsibility, the combination becomes a catalyst for a revolutionary approach to professional sports and entertainment. GPG plans to grow by introducing Warrior Island, a groundbreaking sports and entertainment series akin to HBO's 24/7 featuring a myriad of sports combat talent and personalities from all across the world that follows the life and training of mixed martial artists for a period of time leading up to a major bout. Warrior Island is a platform focused on discovering the world's best mixed martial arts talent and showcasing the truth behind the struggles and sacrifices of a champion.
What We Do:
GPG is a worldwide fight league where fans have a voice, great warriors are discovered, and champions are made. GPG conducts mixed martial arts events worldwide showcasing its talented fighters, and has held events in New York City, London, Rio de Janeiro, and Lisbon, among others. GPG is advancing mixed martial arts by educating their fighters, and by giving fans the power to advance a fighter's career through the integration of social media networking. GPG seeks to expand its reach worldwide through its innovative sports and entertainment series Warrior Island. Warrior Island is a documentary narrative filmed in a 24/7 style with Hollywood caliber filming crews that showcases the true fighter spirit by uncovering what each combatant endures to become a champion. Filmed away from the glitz and ostentation of a typical series, Warrior Island strips away the unnecessary backdrops and offers a true & raw account of not just the fighter, but the person, the family man, and the student. We showcase the heart, grit, sacrifice, and dedication put forth by each of the fan-selected 16 personalities. The fighters, production team, location, script and staff have been assembled and filming could begin as early as September 20, 2013.

GPG is positioned for success because of its aggressive strategies to build a global distribution footprint using a combination of broadcast, digital and online media along with live events, archival content and original programming.

After online voting concluded on March 15th 2013, sixteen finalists and six alternates will be selected and notified by Shaolin Monks by sealed scroll of when they will start their Journey. The Island and date will remain a secret to the public and all fighters must sign a non-disclosure to keep the location and outcome secret. Each Master will evaluate each student and make suggestions as to possible changes in their training regimen to help them become a more rounded fighter, because in today's world of combat, one must be versed in all disciplines. The fighters will be trained in the unique attributes particular to each Masters' style of fighting and training, such as ground techniques or close combat techniques
