- Michael Malast (14 November 1983 – 26 June 2018) was an American entrepreneur, sports agent and fight promoter. In 2010 Malast was licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of State Athletic Commission as a promoter of mixed martial arts (MMA) becoming the youngest licensed promoter in the nation at age 26. Malast got his start in the sport by launching "MMA Melee - Community of Combat" a social network dedicated to the progression of martial arts. The website focuses on building a solid foundation for professional and amateur athletes by sponsoring and securing bouts/competition for its members. Each month MMA Melee "Classifieds" section distributes over 100 new prize fighting jobs in various combat sports nationally and internationally. The website hosts over 25,000 fitness, exercise, training, self-defense and fight videos. MMA Melee, INC. sponsors a professional and amateur fight team. The franchise holds a Team Record: 121–7 Win-Rate: 94% of the fighters representing the company. MMA Melee team members have competed in dozens of fight leagues around the world including the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Their endorsement deals have been seen on global networks such as Fox Sports, Spike TV, MTV2, NBCSN, HD Net, Comcast Sports & Pay-per-view. In August 2009, Malast started managing judoka and professional mixed martial artist Jimy "The Kid" Hettes. Hettes was the first fighter sponsored by MMA Melee. Hettes was originally expected to make his UFC debut in December 2010 as part of The Ultimate Fighter: Team GSP vs. Team Koscheck Finale card on Spike TV; but Hettes was forced to turn down that opportunity due to a local promoters refusal to release him from a promotional contract which expired in 6 days. This urged Malast to secure a Promoters license through the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission. Upon being issued his license Malast formed Martial Arts Super Sport - MASS Production, LLC his own MMA promotion that would grant him the authority to release fighters under contract with him to the UFC at any time. Michael Malast was 34 when he died on Tuesday, June 26, 2018. He is interred at Maple Hill Cemetery, Hanover Twp, Pennsylvania. (en)
