ISCF
COPY - CAT?
Legit or Fake?
Well, Let's Call It What It
Is...
FRAUD as
well as FAKE!
Imagine this... Someone wants to bypass the rules and regulations of a REAL Sanctioning body or a State Commission so they decide to just make up their own. But how? Well, the old "Cut and Paste" aspects of a computer makes this task real easy. Enter the WCSF... This is a so called "Sanctioning Body" out of Idaho Falls, Idaho, but like a lot of these"Start-ups" they only sanction one event... The Amateur events of their creator, Kasey Thompson. Now we know people copy things from both the ISCF site here and the IKF Kickboxing site, but this guy was a gem in his actions... Thompson thought he could just "Cut and Paste" EVERYTHING on the ISCF Web Site and what makes this funny, he didn't even change the format of it all. All this thinking he could be a legit "Sanctioning Body"... Including the basic elmements of the ISCF logo which they made up at left, which was probably the most effort he put into his task. Their sanctioning body web site use to be www.wcsfederation.com. However, a legal order from the ISCF, to owner Kasey Thompson of Xtreme Fight Series, EW International and Knockout Promotions brought him to pay a fine which was followed by him taking the site down. Here are several factors of the resolution as agreed to and signed by Thompson and his attorney, A.J. Bohner: |
||||
Here's the e-mail that Thompson sent to his "Then" webmaster to copy the ISCF site for his own: From: "Kasey Thompson" kasey@xxx
"He was trying to abide by the regulations of the Idaho Boxing Commission which requires a sanctioning body for their amateur events." Said ISCF President Steve Fossum. "He didn't want to use a real sanctioning body so he just cut and pasted all of our material and made up his own sanctioning body. How we found out was through the Idaho State Commission." What makes this story even more funny is that after taking down his copied site and paying his fine, Thompson broke even more ISCF Copyright Laws and started up "Again..." Which was against the legal agreement both the ISCF and Thompson agreed to. But wait... There's more. The state of Idaho Boxing Commission said they would NEVER approve this organization again as a sanctioning body, but guess what... They did, knowing the full truth behind it all! Talk about unethical. Who approved him? Sources all point to Kim Aksamit of the Bureau Of Occupational Licenses for the State of Idaho, who works with the Idaho Boxing Commission. Aksamit approved Thompson the first time, and then found out about the ISCF and notified us here. What surprised everyone here more though is, although knowing the entire story, she once again approved Thompson's "Copied" Sanctioning Body AGAIN... Smell a little fishy to you too? We did some additional investigation into all this and it's no wonder why or how Thompson was once again approved by Aksamit. "Fraud is putting it lightly" said ISCF International Attorney Robert Parrish. "We let him off the hook last time with a small fine, but this time, we're going all the way with him!" Using the Alexa HISTORY page, check out how EXACT Thompson's site match up to the ISCF pages. All that's missing on these pages is their logo, (Which we will post here tomorrow) which believe it or not, was pretty much identical to the ISCF logo except for the name. Check it out and get a laugh by clicking HERE! Some of their links actually linked back to the ISCF pages and some pages still had ISCF still on them somewhere.... A mistake by their webmaster... Here's something even funnier... Before Thompson was caught with his pants down he was a little rude back to the ISCF. In one of Thompson's e-mails back to the ISCF, he wrote: "Before you insult the State of Idaho with your California rhetoric we suggest you get your facts straight. The WCSF is made up some of the biggest legends in the MMA world in the Northwest; just to name 3: John Holsman, Derek Cleveland and Taylor Irvin." However, on their web page, they listed "4" people. So who is that 4th person listed as "Kris Thompson"... Kasey of course. Here's how it looked on their site prior to the take down... This was their "So Called Board Members..." - note how much MMA experience they all claim to have... Hmmm "When did MMA begin?"...LOL...
But that's not all. During Thompson's short power trip he wasn't always heading his new copied up organization. He wanted people to believe at first that he represented the ISCF. He charged fighters and cornermen for ISCF registration, claiming he was an ISCF Representative. He also told the Idaho Commission that he was an ISCF Representative. We would like to hear from the many fighters who paid Thompson for fight Registration while he was masquerading as an ISCF Official. we will include you all in the "Class Action Suit." But there's more... Wait till you hear the Rest of this Story... FRIDAY, July 13th, 2007, AT 1:00 PM, PT But Wait...There's more... | ||||
Remember the article about the copy-cat organization formed by Kasey Thompson? Well, we promised you more, and here it is. Our thought is this... Shouldn't a fighter be Qualified to be an actual "Contender" to fight for a title/ Well, as a REAL Sanctioning body, we though this would be a requirement. However, not MMA Promoter Kasey Thompson. To hype his shows and sell tickets Thompson has no problem making up fighters records and then send in press releases to the local paper, who of course, believe what he is sending them is true.... NOT! As noted before, using the Alexa HISTORY page, check out how EXACT Thompson's site match up to the ISCF pages. All that's missing on these pages is their logo, (Which we will post here tomorrow) which believe it or not, was pretty much identical to the ISCF logo except for the name. Check it out and get a laugh by clicking HERE! Some of their links actually linked back to the ISCF pages and some pages still had ISCF still on them somewhere.... Here are some "Hype" Headlines for Thompson's show Saturday night which include his so called, "World" titles: CLAIM: "Following two major upsets in XFS V on
May 12th - UFC veteran Patrick Smith losing his XFS World Heavy Weight Title to
Tom Clemon; as well as Bodog's Kyacey "Ice Cold" Uscola's upset loss
to Chilo Gonzales for the XFS World Light Heavy Weight Title - XFS VI should
prove to be very exciting and unpredictable." When Clemen's was booked for the "World Title" fight against Smith, pretty much everyone thought Smith would win over such an unexperienced fighter. Clemen's PRO record was only 2-0... And his amateur record was only 1-0. THREE fights and here's your World title shot... kinda like that comedian who says, "Here's your Sign..." But Thompson's thoughts were more like, "Who cares, it's in Idaho!" As if Idaho fight fans don't know what they are seeing... or do they? Or, are they all just believing what they read in the local newspaper? This is probably more so the case. "If the paper says it, it must be true... Right?" Wrong! |
| |||
On Thompson's last event in June, he had another "World Title" fight. Chilo Gonzales actually had some experience but not necessarily a commanding winning record at 10-8 (3-1 as an amateur). For the title, Gonzales defeated Kaycey Usacola who had about the same record at the time, 11-7 - 4-4. The win gave Gonzales Thompson's XFS Light-Heavyweight Title. Still, with over 6,000 in attendance, Thompson must be doing something right. Whether it's misleading the public or some great marketing, whatever it is, people are buying it. The question is, will they continue to believe it all, especially after his show this Saturday night? The opening paragraph for Thompson's event this weekend reads
So lets look at this a bit. WHO are these guys? We happen to know who Douglas Lima is, but we have never seen him win a "Brazilian World Title". Lima has fought on several ISCF Sanctioned events. In fact, probably 90% of his fights were on ISCF Sanctioned events, and he is good, but probably not as good as Thompson wants everyone to believe. Lima's Pro record is 4-1 which followed a good amateur career of 3-0. All his fights except for one have been in Georgia, and that other one was in Colorado. This is no stab at Lima. He IS A GOOD FIGHTER! It's just that Thompson want's everyone to believe he's more than he really is. As for Lima's opponent, the Mexican World Champion and Sport Fight World Champion Ed Nunoz? WHO is he? Nunoz can't be found in either of the top MMA fighter databases which are FC Fighter (Click Here) and Sherdog (Click Here). Here are some other claims Thompson makes that are fun to look at: CLAIM: "Idaho Steelhead's bad boy Jeremy
Yablonski will be put to the ultimate test as he takes on the undefeated Jeremy
"The Head Hunter" Newman from Salt Lake City, Utah." CLAIM: "For the first time in Northwest sports
history Two World Champion Heavy Weight Sumo Wrestlers will be defending
their World Titles at XFS; Kelly Gneiting (510 Lbs.) the 2005, 2006 USA World
Champion, and Casey Burns (515 Lbs.) the 2003 USA World Champion, will do
head-to-head." CLAIM: "XFS Middleweight World Champion "Relentless"
Ray Perales will be defending his title against "The Lion of Boise"
Dustin Moe a fight that's been in the making for over eight years." CLAIM: "The 3 time PAC10 Wrestling Champion
from Boise State, Scott Jorgenson, will be fighting James Birdy (8-0) from
Seattle, Washington for the vacant XFS Bantam Weight World Title." CLAIM: "Idaho Mixed Martial Arts legend,
Brandon "Big Dog" Shuey, will be entering the octagon cage for the
final time, in this his retirement fight against Eddie "The Hurricane"
Belen of Indonesia." Well, they say any press is good press, so your welcome for the headlines Kasey. Good luck with fooling the public tonight once again. However, like your sanctioning body, you may want to be careful... This stuff has a way of sneaking up on you... |

WCSF
And
Kasey Thompson...
Keeps On Pushing It!
You would think Kasey Thompson would SHUT his mouth and pull back on his crap, but no, not a loser like Thompson. This past year Thompson paid a $7,500.00 fine to the ISCF for copyright violations after copying the ISCF website and basic design of the ISCF logo to make up his own sanctioning body to ovbersee his own events by his own production company, Knockout Promotions.
However, even after paying a fine and admitting he was wrong (As shown in the e-mail exchanges below) Thompson has not only re-created his site, but continues to use the ISCF Rules on it which can be found at wcsf.biz - For those who don't believe Thompson admitted his faults, feel free to read through the e-mail exchanges below.
but wait, it gets even better. According to our investigation, Thompson has a little help from the State Commission. From what we have uncovered, Kim Aksamit who has multiple titles such as Technical Records Specialist I, Bureau of Occupational Licenses, out of Boise, Idaho also has responsibilities to the Idaho State Board Of Cosmetology, The Idaho Board of Barber Examiners and of course...The Idaho Athletic Commission. It's become very clear that Aksamit and Thompson are well connected and from what we uncovered, Aksamit has been referring potential Idaho Amateur MMA Promoters to... you guessed it, Thompsons WCSF.
We have not spoken directly to who the Idaho Athletic CommissionWebsite refers to as their Agency Contact who is actually the States athletic commisioner, Tom Katsilometes (208 221-6534.) However, we did find it funny and of course unprofessional to see that all the links for Idaho Athletic Commission rules and regulations don't even work. See for yourself by clicking Here.
The Idaho Athletic Commission website says that they are primarily charged with proper licensing and regulation of unarmed combat in Idaho - including boxing, wrestling, and in some cases martial arts. However, all we have seen are what many would call, "Good ol boy Politics". This is exactly what
Rather than try and "Explain" all that
transpired, we thought it best to share publically all the
E-Mail Exchanges with
ISCF & Kasey Thompson

After making two calls to you today, one being a lady

as "reputable" when they have only sanctioned 1 event, and, have
copied all of OUR information to submit to the State Commission? Maybe you
should do a re-check of your ethics when making such judgements...

And guess what we were told?????
Boy this gets good
..that
you told DEAN DONLEN not to sanction his fight thru the WCSF but use your

Your e-mail reply...
Man, that's pretty Funny. It must be automatic
for you to act unethically, to make up stuff and lie and then try and cover
your tracks.
Almost as funny as the website you guys stole with OUR material
on it.
To begin with, YOU were indeed listed as the owner according to
www.allwhois.com
However, as the database info shows, you just changed all of that as of;
Domain Last Updated Date: Tue Apr 17 22:43:45 GMT 2007
"Whois database was last updated on: Tue Apr 17 23:24:31 GMT 2007"
So you went in and made some adjustments and took your name off of
everything...lol...
Please feel free to do as you feel because we already printed off the info
that said you were the site owner and creator, etc. etc... Now that's funny...
LOL...
So now you want to pawn it off on Taylor Irvin who you want to claim is the
rightful owner of the World Combat Sactioning (Which by the way is spelled
Sanctioning) Federation... LOL...
Are you sure he's not just a front man to
allow you to skirt around the Idaho Commission Rules and Regulations?
In regards to our efforts, they were more than a nice "Try", they
were a nice "Fact".
As for "Cutting to the Chase" as you so respectfully put it, I
can assure you that NO ONE here "TOLD" anyone NOT to sanction with
your Mickey mouse sanctioning body. I just called Dean to speak to him about
your "Claimed" phone call. However, funny thing Kasey... He said you
never called him today... Gee, what a surprise...
He assured us that he
never wanted to use your sanctioning body. In fact, he said he had contacted us
first and that your so called sanctioning body came into play later. so again,
NO ONE here TOLD ANYONE not to work with "YOUR" Sanctioning body. So
I guess that directs the finger a little easier as to who is really being
corrupt here, doesn't it. not to mention unethical.
As for the GAMES we play here in California, I suggest you look into the
rules a bit more because as we know it, the laws and regulations in regards to
theft and copyright issues is nation wide. As for our reputation preceding us,
it does indeed. We "ARE" the most LEGIT Sanctioning body for MMA, not
to mention Kickboxing. As for our desire to, as you say, "Blackball"
anyone, I think the only people here that need to be blackballed are those
making unethical actions and doing so in a corrupt way. You may want to round up
your troops and have a pow wow with them about what is ethical and what is not
in regards to the Rules and Regulations of the ring sports. It's our job, and we
take them very seriously, which is why we do it so well.

All the others we spoke to today had many of
the same things to say about you, especially when you've tried to pass this

Before you insult the State of Idaho with your California

The WCSF is made up
some of the biggest legends in the MMA world in the Northwest; just to name 3:
John Holsman Idaho MMA Legion, has ring announced or promoted more shows
in the past 15 years then anyone in the northwest. It was his wife that you

Derek
Cleveland Has promoted the most shows in Idaho history.
Taylor Irvin
One of the first promoters in Idaho history, particularly 1998-2002.
Kriss Williams has been contacted by our staff to take down the NON-OFFICIAL
WCSF per your request.
Steve,
At least we can agree on one thing, we
will never use your organization at any CCF events.

Kasey,
Please don't humor me or insult anyone here that is fully aware of the
truth.
You have lied to the Idaho Commission and you know you did. They have
confirmed this to us here at the ISCF tonight. You have copied our licensed
material for your own personal gain without our approval.
As for our "California rhetoric" please don't make me laugh at
your babble. To add, EVERYONE here included in this e-mail KNOW that we have
ALL of our facts straight.
You can claim that the WCSF is made up some of the biggest legends in the
MMA world in the Northwest, however, no one included in the previous e-mails
have ever heard of any of them. And since MMA is only about 10-13 years old, it
was humorous to read that they all had 15 to 25 years of "MMA"
Experience.
We are aware of John Holsman as a ring announcer. As well we are aware of
him allowing a KO'ed fighter re-enter the ring to fight again on the same night,
as WITNESSED by an official with the Idaho Commission.
As for my discussion with his wife, maybe YOU should have thought about
what number to put on your contact page. It was HERS, which means she was our
only contact. You didn't have the guts to place your number on there since you
KNEW you were doing something illegal! Instead, you allowed her to be your front
line... What a gentleman...
We STRONGLY look forward to hearing from your Bonner Law Offices and you
PLEASE look forward to hearing from the Idaho Commission as well as being served
for your actions. You have NO DEFENSE here Kasey and I am shocked and amused
that you are still trying to tread water or back peddle and lie your way through
all of this as if you did nothing wrong.
No need for "YOU" to
contact Kriss Williams. We have already asked him to take down the COPIED ISCF
Site that has been transformed into your WCSF letters illegally BY YOUR PROVEN
REQUEST!
Kasey, you are VERY RIGHT on one thing, we will never approve of
you or your company as an accepted ISCF Sanctioned Event. Things could have
been different, but instead, you choose to cut corners, act unethical, lie and
steal our material for your own use.
What about the money you charged fighters and cornermen, as you claimed you
were an ISCF Representative? Will you be refunding it?
What about you telling the Idaho Commission that YOU were an ISCF
Representative? Care to re-state that claim? Need I go on? No need.
The
facts are correct and our work is in order. The only way you are backing out of
this one will be from some horrendous story filled with lies and Babble. Since
we are confident you will error again and choose to do this as your next move,
no one here is eager to hear it. Save it for the courtroom you thief!

to get that removed ASAP. Kriss designed that website in January of this year.
(Urban Design contact information: Lennie Boddie 890-1575)
Also, per our conversation, I absolutely agree in making this situation go
away.
We have had (1) fight sanctioned by the WCSF (in February) and (1)
fight tomorrow night sanctioned by the WSCF, both at the Big Easy
capacity 750 people. To compensate you for this misunderstanding, we would like
to give you the total revenue for the event in February and the total revenue
for the event tomorrow night.
Our total revenue for February was $3,750, we
are expecting similar revenue tomorrow. If that works for you, I can send you a
check for ($7,500) Friday.
Per our conversation, we are planning on having
12 amateur fights per year and look forward to working with you on future
sanctioning.
Thank You,
Kasey Thompson
EW International
OFFER ACCEPTED SO THAT WE CAN BE DONE WITH IT...

Hi Kasey,
Our legal guys are reviewing this right now. I have to run to San Francisco
for a meeting but will be back later tonight and will send you an update. One
thing they asked was if we say OK to this, they would like you to send half by
cashiers check to arrive here by Friday and the balance mailed Friday for
Saturday delivery mail. They want to get this resolved before Monday because I
will be leaving Monday morning for our ISCF MMA Tournament in Iowa next weekend.
In
addition, we can further discuss the idea of the ISCF working with you on
further events, but it would mean dissolving what there is of the wcsf. We can
talk more later.
Sincerely
Steve Fossum

Kasey,
I tried calling you today but your VM did not allow any messages. Despite
the fact that I have kept my word and not interfered with your event tonight, it
seems on your end, things have become unclear. Today I spoke with your Attorney,
AJ Bohner, who faxed to us a legal document for liability release in regards to
our discussed agreement. This of course is not what we had discussed. We had
agreed, or so I had thought, to leave our legal council out of this resolution.
Your attorney has added additional confusion to all of this with his 4 page
release with all kinds of, as our legal council called it, "Legal Babble",
in hopes to cloud the issues that you and I know as black and white.
Several things are unclear in his wording and other things are not included
as we discussed such as;
1: The dissolving of your sanctioning body, the
WCSF.
2: The promise that you or any of your associates will not create
another sanctioning body or continue the sanctioning body known as the WCSF
since it was created under fraudulent circumstances with stolen material of the
ISCF.
3: The use of any of our ISCF literature and logos for any such
organization in place for sanctioning MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and or
Kickboxing.
4: The assured removal of the WCSF website and a promise that no
other such website will be created for the purpose of sanctioning MMA (Mixed
Martial Arts) and or Kickboxing.
5: The first payment was to be received by
cashiers check tomorrow, Friday, April 20th. Not by a bank transfer.
I explained this to AJ several times, however, he continued to ignore my
side of the discussion and basically kept changing the subject as he kept
interrupting me which in my eyes was a further insult and disrespect to all of
this under the current circumstances. He also mentioned we are not represented
by any legal counsel, however, we are. What I was trying to do was not bring
them into this whole thing as we discussed for the very reasons we discussed.
However, now that you have brought an attorney into this and he has added
his "Legal Babble" to the mix, things may change since all legal
documents here are required to be delt with only through our legal department
which means I will have to hand this whole issue over to them and it will be out
of my hands at that point.
Lastly, he has asked for my signing of his proposed contract of his doing
to be notarized. Again, any such doing places this issue out of my hands and
brings it into the full focus of our legal council and our attorneys here, which
again, I thought we were trying to avoid. If you and your attorney want to go
this route, it will be up to you, however, I have made it clear how things will
proceed if we need to go this other route.
I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely
Steve Fossum
IT HAD SEEMED ALL WAS WORKED OUT, BUT KASEY HAD ANOTHER PLAN

Kasey,
I'm having a problem here some issues that I hope you can clear up. This
e-mail is not meant to stir up any trouble or problems, it's basically a fact
finding e-mail.
Over the last few days we have been getting e-mails and phone calls from
people in Idaho telling us some very unethical things about a planned promotion
you have for May 27th? This e-mail is to address these issues in hopes we can
get these issues cleared up.
For example, we have heard;
1: Although our approved ISCF Promoter Mr. Dean Donlon had already come to
terms with his planned venue, "Meridian Speedway, Meridian, Idaho, USA",
we have been told that you now have talked with this venue and asked them not
to let Mr. Donlon host his event there, and instead, for them to work with you
on a planned event the following weekend. After checking with the speedway, we
discovered Mr. Donlon's event is not booked anymore and you have one booked the
following weekend.
2: Several fighters and trainers who were scheduled to
fight on Mr. Donlon's event have asked us if his event was cancelled because
they were told by you or associates of yours that his event is cancelled and
they should fight on your event.
3: Several have told us that your event
sanctioning has been approved by ISCF, however, we have received no Promoters
Application, Registration form or Sanctioning Fees for any such event promoted
by you in Idaho.
4: We also heard today that you contact associates of Mr.
Donlon and informed them that "You" and your sanctioning body would
sanction their event for free if they changed over and worked with you instead
of ISCF.
Kasey, Is any of this true?
If so, please explain to us in detail why
you would do any such things. If not, can you shed any light on why the
Meridian Speedway all of a sudden does not want to book Mr. Donlon's event?
We look forward to your reply in regards to this issue.
Sincerely
Steve Fossum
KASEY FOLLOWED WITH THIS E-MAIL THE
SAME DAY
BUT IT WAS NOT REASSURING TO US TO ASSURE US THAT HE WAS WORKING IN
GOOD FAITH.
ESPECIALLY IN RELATION TO THE OTHER IDAHO PROMOTERS

RE: Idaho MMA Events???
Hi Steve,
I hope the trip you went on last week went well.
Please work directly with Sean Roberts my General Manager for Knockout
Promotions. His # is 208-629-6282, email: sean@ewinternational.biz We cannot
speak on behalf of Dean Donlin. We can however confirm that Knockout Promotions
has 5 scheduled amateur MMA events that are upcoming, 1 is tentatively scheduled
at Meridian Speedway where Knockout Promotions has an exclusive MMA promotion
contract.
As far as sanctioning, following our conversations 2 weeks ago, we
definitely are wanting to give you guys a shot. I gave you the 2 dates of our
events in June and our 2 dates in August - I know Sean has put several calls
into you the past couple of days to get a sanction - If possible, please get
back to him in the morning to work out the details. I appreciate all your help
- KT
P.S. I will be in Sacramento on the 15th and 16th of this month, I
would like to stop in and say hi, how far out of Sacramento are you?
Thank
You,
Kasey Thompson

WE HAD ASKED KASEY TO WAIT UNTIL DEAN DON;IN'S EVENT TOOK PLACE SO THAT WE COULD BE ASSURED IT WOULD GO WITHOUT PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THIS WASN'T THE CASE, AS SEVERAL OF KASEY'S PEOPLE CAUSED NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS FOR THE EVENT. TELLING FIGHTERS NOT TO FIGHT FOR DEAN, CALLING THE VENUE AND MAKING UP ISSUES AND MORE. WITHIN WEEKS, HE WAS BACK AT IT AGAIN, DESPITE HIS GOOD FAITH ASSURANCE. HIS ACTIONS FORCED THIS E-MAIL TO HIM AND HIS ATTORNEY. TO: Mr. Kasey Thompson
Dear Mr. Thompson and Mr. Bohner,
1: The dissolving of the sanctioning body, the WCSF. In addition, KNOWING the LEGAL circumstances involved here, we are VERY SURPRISED that the Idaho Commission would approve your sanctioning body knowing FULL and WELL that it was simply a COPY of the ISCF, with different letters. For those in this e-mail looking for additional proof, please go to this
website; http://www.wcsf.biz This alone proves the shattering of agreement
number 1 and 2 above. Let me take a moment to once again PROVE you simply "Cut & Pasted"
the ISCF material to your website.
Despite your "Copyright © 2005 - 2007 World Combat Sanctioning Federation. Configured & Hosted by UrbanDezign.com" you may want to inform them that the contents of your page are actually property of the ISCF, and NOT the WCSF. You list on this site the following WCSF Board Members;
If we had their e-mails we would SURLY include them in your illegal actions
here.
PS: The little "STUNT" you served up yesterday to have one of your
friends threaten the Promoter of the June 9th, 2007 ISCF Sanctioned North West
Ring Warriors "Battle Royal" event at the Bujack Battle Grounds in
Nampa, Idaho, USA. seems you had this guy go to the Promoters house and out
right THREATEN them that their event was going to be closed down because it was
not sanctioned. Well Mr. Thompson, IT IS SANCTIONED by a LEGIT MMA Sanctioning
body, the ISCF. NOT a copycat of the ISCF like your organization. OF COURSE, THERE WAS NO REPLY. FROM THIS, OUR LEGAL TEAM HAS BEEN
BUILDING THE CASE AGAINST KASEY. Kasey Thompson is a promoter in
Boise Idaho who created his own sanctioning body to bypass the Idaho Athletic
Comission rules and regulation requirements as well as monopolize MMA in Idaho.
He has consistently put other promoters out of business by using foul tactics
that are unethical and illegal. He has acted unethical to those whos only
interest is to grow the sport of MMA. "Boy this gets good
."
