Qatar has taken a significant step forward in ensuring safety and standardization in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) with the announcement of a new MMA Committee. Comprised of members from various martial arts disciplines, including Adel Al Marzouqi from judo, Sheik Ali Bin Jassim from jiu-jitsu, and Hamad Salim Al Hajri from wrestling, the committee has received full support from the Qatar Olympic Committee and former professional boxer Fahad Bin Khalid Al Thani. This progressive initiative aims to develop and grow the sport by establishing regulations and rules, prioritizing safety. While MMA events have previously taken place in Qatar, the sport has been officially prohibited due to concerns about regulations. The committee’s mission is to mentor young athletes, promote personal development, and make MMA accessible to everyone. The president of the Global Martial Arts Association (GAMMA), Alexander Engelhardt, expressed his enthusiasm for this development and highlighted GAMMA’s support for the committee’s establishment. GAMMA, as the world governing body for MMA, looks forward to collaborating with Qatar and assisting in the growth of the sport in the country.
