The International Mixed Martial Arts Federation® (IMMAF®) brand was started in 2005 by Mr. Mushi, who offered live PPV's of great competitive bouts.
The goal of the IMMAF is to match up the best fighters for them to compete, to find out who is the top dog. These athletes have been schooled in all martial arts, including karate, jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, grappling, wrestling, sumo and other combat sports.
In December 2005, under the new ownership of a Mr. Parcelli the IMMAF brand went through turmoil when the original owner, a Mr. Mushi, had legal problems and sold the IMMAF to Parcelli. Parcelli had trouble getting a lot of the older fighters to return, but champions were to be reestablished for those who did not return.
In April 2006, Mr. Parcelli, just like Mr. Mushi, sold the IMMAF. The new owner Tito Veroni & President Nick Centriano took over and reconstructed the IMMAF once again, for the better. After this the IMMAF took an upswing and had some of it's best PPV's ever, showing that Veroni & Centriano really know what they were doing.
During the same timeline of early 2006, Costanzo Granitelli emerged as a great talent use for the IMMAF's business. He ran WotC, IMMAF Shidokan, and eventually rose to Vice President. Costanzo took over more responsibilities over time until officially in July of 07, Nick Centriano stepped down, and Costanzo assumed full responsibility as the IMMAF President. Tito Veroni is still the owner.
Under the strong leadership of owner Tito Veroni and the expertise of President Costanzo Granitelli, the IMMAF brand continues to thrive across a spectrum of live event sports and ancillary business development.
