LAHORE: Pakistan has geared up for one of its biggest combat sports spectacles as the Pakistan Mixed Martial Arts Federation (PakMMA) hosts Pakistan Combat Night 2025, a three-day tournament featuring over 200 fighters from across the globe.
The event will run from August 22 to 24, with qualifiers and semifinals set for BraveGym, Lahore, before culminating in a grand finale open to the public at the DHA Phase 6 Sports Complex.
Organised under the leadership of PakMMA President Omar Ahmed, the event welcomed professional and amateur fighters from Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and beyond. Following a series of nationwide trials, the tournament is positioned as a national platform to spotlight emerging talent. Select pro-card winners will also earn the chance to compete in the Road to BRAVE series in Georgia, USA, later this year — providing global exposure to Pakistan’s finest fighters.
To safeguard athletes, Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed, CEO of ACTIVIT and Director of National Hospital & Medical Centre, monitored on-site medical care, emergency response, and athlete support.
The event follows the landmark success of Pakistan Combat Week 2024, which brought over 200 fighters from 18 countries to Lahore. ACTIVIT, a key partner then and now, raised the bar by establishing a dedicated medical facility from National Hospital DHA Lahore onsite for diagnostics, injury care, and athlete recovery—a first for Pakistan’s combat sports scene.
The main card featured two of Pakistan’s brightest stars, both ACTIVIT-sponsored athletes:
- Rizwan Ali (Pakistan, 9-0) vs. Adham Mohammed (Egypt, 11-4)
- Eman “Falcon” Khan (Pakistan, 6-3) vs. Maha Houmiel (Tunisia, 3-1)
Their training, nutrition, and medical preparations have been supported by ACTIVIT in the lead-up to the showdown.
Additional main card bouts include:
- Zia Mashwani vs. Samad Moradmand
- Aqib Awan vs. Mohamed Abo Ali
- Ismail Khan vs. Lazizhhon Uzbehov
- Babar Ali vs. Serkhan Valili
With its mix of local and international talent, Pakistan Combat Night 2025 promises not only a thrilling spectacle for fans but also a crucial stepping stone for fighters seeking to break into the global MMA arena.
