Tom Hoppa, partner and CEO of Matador said, “Matador is already a respected name in entertainment, and has produced many successful events including the PRINCE & 3RDEYEGIRL 2013 sold-out West Coast tour. We also recently produced the UFC International Fight Week 2014 live concert featuring Papa Roach, P.O.D., and LIT. With my 15 years of experience in live events, artist representation and business development, I’m excited to connect our resources with the massive combat sports market.”
