ABOUT PAKMMA Fighting Alliance (PAKMMA FA)
PAKMMA Fighting Alliance is an MMA league whose management is almost solely made up of MMA fighters and fans. Hence, our tag line is "For the fighters, by the fighters." Previous promotions have done a great job promoting the sport in Pakistan, but for those who had been toiling for years on the ground, it was missing something. For example, ONEFC's Victor Cui is a martial artist, Matt Hume was one of the top pound for pound in the world. So it is easy for them to connect with the fighters and they speak the same language. We wanted something like this in Pakistan and we put together PAKMMA Fighting Alliance. It's more than a league it's a symbol of our unity as an MMA community, from the gyms in Karachi that have not yet been penetrated by the league to the MMA heart land of Punjab to the total Wild West of Pakistani MMA in the tribal run western areas.
We are giving out the biggest purses and prizes, we're taking care of the fighters and we're making sure they know that they are appreciated. We're still aiming for perfection and we have made some mistakes, but that's part of the game and we wish for all those who are a part of this process to forgive us in the meantime.
But rest assured we are the top promotion in Pakistan because we have a bad ass team. Myself, some of the most experienced event management people, the most committed and knowledgable MMA fans who have been with the Pakistani MMA scene since day ONE, and our president is a ROCK STAR - LITERALLY! He has played with the most famous musicians in Pakistan in front of crowds of 75,000 people. He knows the media, the A-list red carpet crowd we're gonna bring in and can get sponsors.
In fact, we have been able to keep this event free because we want to make this particular, historic Pak vs Afghan event accessible to every and any MMA fan in Pakistan. Because we have developed such amazing relationship with sponsors because of who we have on our team, we have been blessed to be able to offer PAKMMA FA 2, for FREE to all Pakistani MMA fans out there.
About PAKMMA FA 2
PAKMMA FA 2 is the BIGGEST MMA event to happen in Pakistan thus far. In the first PAKMMA FA we made history by having the first international MMA fights in Pakistan, when we called over the Afghan MMA fighters. Initially, we wanted amateur fights and so some of our greenest fighters with the least experience were on the undercard fighting the Afghans whom we found out later on were NOT amateur. Though they were new to MMA, they had years of experience in wrestling, boxing, wushu etc. This is the trouble on the new Asian scene since i is hard to know the true backgrounds and history of fighters from different areas. So These Afghans were fighting Pakistani guys who had been training in any martial art from a few months to a year. Needless to say, all the Pakistani's lost and people were disheartened but also fired up! They thought they had faced the best, but we knew what their level was like now and so we made sure to give them even match ups in FA 2. Some of the best MMA fighters in Afghanistan will now be fighting some of the best MMA and this is why this is THE biggest card in Pakistani MMA.
The two main events are Waqar Umar, one of the first fighters to be trained under me and one of the top fighters on the MMA scene. He will be fighting Nangyalai a hard hitting Afghan who showed a lot of technical skills when he last fought an upcoming fighter from 3G in Karachi, Shahid Siddique.
The co-main event is a fighter named Uloomi who is arguably the most popular fighter aside from myself on the Pakistani MMA scene. He hails from Team Fight Fortress in Islamabad and he is going to be fighting a wrestler whom we haven't seen before Mujtaba Yousofi.
