In 1999, NAGA produced its first mixed martial arts (MMA) event, The Rhode Island Vale Tudo.  This event was the first MMA show ever in New England and allowed an opportunity for future MMA stars such as Tim Sylvia and Jorge Rivera to hone their skills.  After 5 successful Rhode Island Vale Tudos, NAGA expanded into Massachusetts with Mass Destruction, and into New Jersey with its premier event Reality Fighting.  There have been 23 Mass Destruction events and 16 Reality Fighting events since their inception in 2001 and 2002 respectively.  NAGA has also expanded it’s Reality Fighting events into New Hampshire.
