About

Chris Arns – Managing Partner

Following a 25 plus year career in motion picture distribution, Chris gravitated to sports promotion based on the meteoric growth and untapped potential in mixed martial arts (MMA). The experience he gained in senior management positions with large, national companies easily translated to his current efforts producing and promoting live events, in talent management, and broadcasting. Chris entered the home entertainment business right out of school, working his way to a Vice President position with a $1 billion company, owning responsibility for a $70 million P&L, a large workforce, and multiple facilities. During the course of this part of his career, he spent 18 years with one company, relocating several times. He and his family have lived on both coasts and in Chicago. He decided to enter the world of combat sports when he left a position leading sales and marketing for a national entertainment trade publication and web site, returning to his native Iowa in 2006. There, he became managing partner for an established enterprise that owns a national radio program, a fight promotion company, voice talent and announcing firm, as well as an in-house ad agency. His collective experience and responsibilities in the entertainment, sports promotion, and management fields combined to create an opportunity for him to join the nation’s fastest growing sport at the most exciting time. For him, he never looks back to the DVD days and he thoroughly enjoys the new challenges as well as the great network of people he engages.
