==XARM==
Davie's new venture, XARM, is a hybrid sport that combines kickboxing and arm wrestling. While at a meeting in 2008 with executives from Piranha entertainment in Seattle, Davie announced he wanted back into the MMA industry, but estimated it would take millions of dollars to create a new brand that could compete with the UFC. Rather than do that, he decided to brand a whole new sport all together, and XARM was created. Contested across a table, adjustable for height from . Bouts consist of three one minute rounds, with a one-minute rest period between rounds. Athletes are allowed one second to accompany and assist them table-side. To prevent the fighters from separating, their arms used for the arm wrestling portion are bound together with a strap leaving the other arm free to punch and submit the other fighter. On June 2008 Art teamed up with fight Promoter Ted Williams to film the first pilot. Ted provided Art with his main card fighters from Gladiator Challenge. XARM was originally scheduled to have its first TV air date in 2012 but, was put on hold.
