IMMAF – WMMAA 2019 ASIAN OPEN MOVES TO THAILAND

The 2019 IMMAF- WMMAA Asian Open Championships are moving from China to Thailand, it was announced today, to be hosted by the Thai Mixed Martial Arts Federation in Bangkok.

The new 2019 event dates are to be announced shortly.

IMMAF President Kerrith Brown said:

“We are hugely grateful to the Thai federation for stepping in to enable the Asian Open Championships to go ahead, as the CIMMAF has continued to struggle against red-tape to progress with the event in China. We have full confidence in the experience and facilities of the Thai federation to expect a stellar Championships.

“We have regrettably been forced to postpone the dates of the event in order to allow the TMMAF time to properly plan and facilitate the Championships. We are working to hard to be able to release the new dates as soon as possible.

“We at IMMAF- WMMAA do not undersestimate the inconvenience members will need to overcome to accommodate the change: As a growing federation and an unrecognised sport, we face many obstacles, but I can not overstate our gratitude to our membership for its unswerving support.”

TMMAF President ‘Plai’ Jitinat Asdamongkol said:

“We at the Thai MMA Federation are happy to welcome IMMAF – WMMA delegates and the athletes from around the Asian Continent and beyond to come and compete in the Asian Open Championship in Bangkok, Thailand – which is known as the land of smile and land of warriors. It is a great honour for us to be able to support IMMAF – WMMAA by hosting the IMMAF – WMMAA Asian Open 2019 and for our country to be a platform for MMA athletes from around the region to showcase their talent, fighting spirit and the beauty and excitement of mixed martial arts.”

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein said:

“Thailand has always been know for its hospitality and I would like to join President Brown in expressing our gratitude to the Thai federation. I am confident that they have everything to comply with the high standards of IMMAF-WMMAA Championships and will host a memorable event.”

Meanwhile, Athlete Registration opens tomorrow for the 2019 IMMAF – WMMAA Oceania Open Championships in New Zealand.

Post date October 15, 2018

It’s fight week! With just days to go until Cage Warriors return to Birmingham with one of their strongest cards of the year, here’s the fights you should be looking out for and how to watch them around the world.

In the CW98 main event, welterweight champion Stefano Paternò puts his title on the line at against the undefeated Ross ‘The Hitman’ Houston. The Italian champion, now on a seven-fight win streak, captured the title with a first-round knockout of Mehrdad Janzemini at CW95 in London back in July. On that same event, Houston dominated with a rear-naked choke victory over Nathan Jones. This Saturday, the top welterweight in Europe will be decided.

The co-main event sees Yannick Bahati, a local Birmingham name who has finished 7 of his past opponents by either KO or submission, come up against ‘The Brazilian Viking’ Alan Carlos. Also on the card is a four-man featherweight title tournament, which will see the winners of Aiden Lee vs Paull McBain and Dean Trueman vs Lewis Monarch face off at CW100 later in the year.

Other big fights not to miss include rising UK prospect Adam Proctor vs Italy’s Angelo Rubino, and new signing Alex Lohore vs Sam Boult.

After helping to build thriving MMA scenes in Liverpool, London, Cardiff and across Europe, Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan now eyes Birmingham as a new hotspot for rising talent. This Saturday will be Cage Warriors’ first visit to Birmingham in 8 years.

“We’ve given fighters from all over Europe the chance to showcase their skills in their hometown,” says Boylan. “We’re excited to now give that opportunity in Birmingham, an exciting city for the promotion and for the sport.”

Doors at the Birmingham Genting Arena open at 4.30pm, with the first amateur fight underway at 5.30pm. Those at the arena can meet UFC legend Dan Hardy, world-famous MMA official Marc Goddard, UFC Flyweight Molly McCann, Cage Warriors octagon girl Edith Labelle and No1 bantamweight title contender Jack Shore at the fan Meet and Greet, free for all ticket holders.
