Official North American MMA Expo

The owner of DMHA, Brian Paul Jaus , had been researching the feasibility of an MMA specific expo for some time. DMHA is a Mixed Martial Arts focused company which started business in January 2007 in Orange County, California. Himself a 20 year martial arts veteran, Brian knew that the timing was right and that MMA could use a large national expo which the entire industry could get behind. Brian felt that this idea was a powder keg waiting to go off, and he sought like minded individuals to back the project both in spirit and financially.
President of The Mortgage Exchange Financial, Ronnie Yantani , and Brian Jaus have been friends through MMA channels for some time. Ronnie has been a lifelong Jiu-jitsu and MMA enthusiast. Ronnie and Brian had been looking for a project to partner on and this idea took Ronnie’s interest. Ronnie and his staff had researched the idea independently six months earlier and already knew of the viability and potential. The two decided to join forces and create the worlds largest Mixed Martial Arts Expo and make it so that it provides value to every member of the industry from the fans to the fighters.
There simply was no competition!! The research showed that GES was by far the clear leader in the choice for a top notch tradeshow contractor. GES produces over 3,000 shows per year throughout the world encompassing some of the top names in industry trade shows and expositions. Brian and Ronnie did not hesitate in their choice to contract GES for the world’s largest Mixed Martial Arts Exposition. Account Executive Jim Letchworth worked exhaustively to produce a professional framework to build the show on.
