Amman, September 6 (Petra) – Jordan is preparing to host “Jordan MMA
Week,” an international mixed martial arts event jointly organised by
the Jordanian Mixed Martial Arts Federation, Jordan Combat Consulting
and Makana 360 Consulting and Marketing Company.

The week-long event will bring together elite international and
regional fighters and sports figures, media personalities,
celebrities, content creators and other prominent guests.

It will feature professional fights, sports and media activities and
experiences across several of Jordan’s major tourist and historical
destinations.

Organisers said the event aims to become one of the largest and most
ambitious combat sports events in Jordan, capitalising on the growing
global popularity of mixed martial arts.

The programme will connect the sport with Jordan’s cultural and
historical heritage, with activities planned in Amman, Jerash, the
Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba.

Events at archaeological and historical sites will be held in
coordination with the relevant authorities and in accordance with
measures to protect and preserve the sites.

Zaid Mirza, CEO of the Jordanian Martial Arts Consultancy, said the
Roman Amphitheater in Amman will serve as more than a venue, becoming
an integral part of the event’s visual identity.

“The place evokes the arenas and warriors of the ancient world and we
are reviving this spirit today through a modern and exceptional
experience in combat sports,” Mirza said.

He added that the event will feature internationally renowned
fighters and leading regional talent from countries including the
United States, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco,
Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, the UAE and Palestine.

Mirza said the initiative goes beyond organising fights, aiming to
create a new generation of combat sports experiences while showcasing
Jordan’s historical and cultural identity to an international
audience.

Jordan MMA Week is expected to receive extensive regional and
international media coverage, including television broadcasts and
participation by media outlets, content creators, celebrities and
other prominent figures.

The event builds on the legacy of Desert Force, which played a
pioneering role in introducing professional MMA to audiences across
the Arab region, with organisers describing Jordan MMA Week as a new
and more ambitious phase in that journey.

Organisers said the initiative seeks to establish an international
sports and media platform based in Jordan, strengthening the
Kingdom’s position as a regional destination for major martial arts
events and attracting fighters, fans and international media.

Details of the main fight venue, participating fighters, media
partners, personalities and the full programme will be announced at a
later date.
