MC Hammer is clearing closet space in his world of parachute pants to make room for perhaps, MMA shorts.
No, he won’t be fighting, but these days the 48-year-old rapper and entrepreneur’s work affects the livelihood of fighters such as Nate Marquardt, Vladimir Matyushenko, Tim Kennedy, James McSweeney and more.
Hammer is the CEO of Alchemist Management, a marketing and management company officially launched last week specifically for a roster of MMA fighters.
“It’s just over the years I watched the world of MMA grow,” Hammer said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. “It’s really exciting. I don’t see anything more exciting today than MMA and it got my fire stoked.”
