About AFM

Founder, President, & Manager 

AFM's founder was introduced to kyokushin karate at age 14 by his cousin, who was a blackbelt from the founder of kyokushin, the great Mas Oyama. Nick then moved to Europe in the early 90's and trained with kickboxing & Muay Thai greats such as Ivan Hippolyte, Lucien Carbin and Ernesto Hoost. He started managing fighters in 1996 and worked with many striking world champions. As MMA became more of a staple, he moved back to America and soon-after founded AFM, where he has worked with some of the world’s leading fighters across many promotions, including the UFC. AFM’s founder is passionate about all aspects of combat sports and uses his experience to guide fighters to their career goals.
