DRAFT LETTER TO MGM NATIONAL HARBOR

To Whom it May Concern:

As you may know, on or about May 23, 2018, the Board of Directors of Alliance MMA, Inc. (the “Company” voted to exit the Company’s promotional, ticketing, and production business. As a result the Company must cancel and terminate its promotional agreement with MGM National Harbor relating to the show currently scheduled for June 23. 2018. Please be advised that the Company’s decision had absolutely nothing to do with any action or inaction of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or Shogun Fights (collectively, the “Promoter”). To the contrary, the Promoter has at all times acted with the utmost good faith, loyalty, and diligence with respect to all shows, including but not limited to the impending June 23^rd show. As a result, the Company’s decision to exit and termination should not in any shed a negative light on the Promoter.

To that end, please also be advised that the Promoter has no restrictive covenant with the Company and may contract directly with MCM National Harbor with respect to the June 23^rd show and/or any other shows. Therefore, to the extent MGM and the Promoter so desire, please feel free to contract directly with the Promoter on terms mutually acceptable to the Promoter and MGM.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding this notice or otherwise. Again, our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that the Company’s decision may cause MGM. However, we are confident that the Promoter is fully capable and experienced to successfully promote and execute the show if so desired by MGM.

Sincerely,
