WCSC Owner/Promoter Mike Espinoza said, "We look forward to this event with great enthusiasm, as it will be the first show of its kind in the state of California, and will showcase the best in women’s combat sports competition. We thank everyone for their support as we launch women’s MMA and Muay Thai into the future."
