Those of you who are also members of Globalfight may have noticed that over the past couple pf days the site has not been operational. I know Gary, the guy who ran the site, and consider him a friend. I contacted him to ask what the problem was. He tells me he has been in dispute with the company who host the site for some time and the issue came to a head when he said he wanted to give two weeks' free membership during the Covid-19 isolation period. The hosting company refused and took over the site. The old site can now be accessed at a new address: menwrestle.com Gary is moving his business in a new direction which he describes as 'musclebear daddy' and he will have a new site soon.

In fairness to Todd and Bill at Globalfight, this is what they have to say:

"Todd and I have been a part of GlobalFight for over two decades. Over time the principal of GlobalFight has moved the site further away from being a mens sport site. This has been very disappointing to many of you and to Todd and me. The domain is blocked by many businesses using firewalls. This has been disappointing to us but unnecessary as we wanted a wrestling site. During this trying time emotions have escalated and the site principal has severed ties with us to go his own way and we are continuing to operate the personals as a True Wrestling site."

I am aware that there has been some 'bad blood' over the years between Meetfighters and Globalfight (the April Fool 'joke' of a few years back being a particularly sorry episode). I never understood what that was about, there was plenty of room in the market for both sites and their different approaches. I personally have no stake in either business and I am passing this message on simply as a service to members here. If you comment on this post, please be respectful. Thanks. Stay safe.
