Michael and Gerhard Ettl have been organizing the Cage Fight Series since 2007 , which is one of the largest MMA events in Europe. Two major events take place every year, on the one hand the Newcomer Challenge and on the other hand the main event, the Cage Fight Series. In the Newcomer Challenge, new talents are to be discovered and promoted. On the program of the CFS are professional fights in the mixed martial arts, whereby the toughest fighters in Austria are to be determined. In 2008 the Cage Fight Series determined the 10,000 Euro Champion and offered the highest prize money in Europe. The popularity of the Cage Fight Series increased due to professional marketing and increasing media presence, because the Cage Fight Series 6 was commented on and broadcast by the martial arts broadcaster "GnP TV".

Since an MMA fight requires extremely high fitness in all areas, Michael Ettl developed in 2011 as a trainer for the Ettl Bros. team and now also for the general public a training principle called "Cross Sports", which combines all sporting skills: strength , Strength endurance, speed, flexibility and fitness. Due to the experience in many sports and in the field of competition, the knowledge and training method of Cross Sports is passed on to future trainers and professional athletes from various sports disciplines. Seminars are organized and the training principle is passed on to athletes. Cross Sports has been a registered trademark since 2011.
