What Fighters Can Do to Help their Media Profile

We at Wombat Sports have dedicated the site to covering female combat sports, and that isn’t an easy task. Hours of research and writing go into our day. As much as we try, we can’t cover everything and miss a lot of news and upcoming prospects.

With that in mind, we need your help in order to help you. Here are some simple things you can do to get some more media coverage.

Get on social media

If you missed our story with Shannon Knapp from this past July, one of the best things to do to help earn your way into Invicta is to be noticed. One of the ways she recommended was to be involved in social media. Most fighters have a facebook, but twitter seems to be the preferred option. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be on it 24/7. One tweet a day or every other day will work. You can also link your instragram and Facebook to twitter, so you don’t have to tweet directly on the account.

Let us know if you have a fight coming up

We update our “Upcoming Fights” database at the beginning of the month and every Thursday just in case certain sites don’t have fights posted. Even with that, some fights slip through the cracks. If you let us know the promotion, location, and opponent you have in a fight coming up, we will surely post it. It also gives us ideas on who to interview on the site.

Let us know if you won and how

We try to hunt down results as much as possible, but most come from local MMA media and twitter reports. Fighters are usually the best source, but we can’t report without some details. If you post on social media, please state how you won and what round – it will help out a lot not only with our site, but with others as well.

Keep us in the know about your record

The UG and Sherdog tend not to have accurate records and a lot of times we have been corrected. Continue to do so if we do get it wrong, and we will make sure the proper people can correct it on Fightfinder.

Recommend a teammate

If you aren’t the only female fighter in your gym, let us know. We are highly interested in those fighters who are making their way up the ranks. If they are making a debut, or have a fight coming up, let us know.

You can always contact us on twitter @WombatSports and on our Facebook account with any info you feel we should know. We hope to help your career by getting the word out.
