An Exciting Night of International Professional, Semi-Professional & Amateur Fights.

We set purses by fight. There is a win bonus paid for every Pro fight, and there is a Fight of the Night Bonus to be competed for. Fighters will be required to bring their own (approved MMA) gloves, a groin protector and mouth-guard (gum-shield).

Amateur & Semi Pro

Find out if you have what it takes to be an MMA Fighter, with a reduced risk of injury, before moving up to the Professional game.

There will be changing and preparation facilities, and a matted pre-fight warm up area; each fighter will be required to bring their own (approved MMA) gloves, a groin protector and mouth-guard (gum-shield).
