A NEW CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF UKRAINIAN MMA

Ukraine hosted the first junior tournament held under the official MMA Elite rules — Pereloma Fight Experience (PFX 1.0). The event became an important step in the development of children’s and youth MMA and brought together some of the country’s most promising young athletes.

The organizers received 350 applications, and only 32 athletes were selected to compete. Among the participants were representatives of leading Ukrainian martial arts clubs, among them –  champions and medalists of the World, European, and Ukrainian championships.

On July 17, Premier Hotel Rus hosted the press conference, official weigh-in, and Face to Face ceremony. On July 18, the Chumatskyi Shliakh restaurant and hotel became the venue for the main event of PFX 1.0 — an evening featuring 16 high-level bouts, including 13 ranking fights, with 3 PFX championship belts contested. The winners were young athletes from Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia and the Kyiv region.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Pereloma Fight Experience is not only a sports tournament, but also a new standard for organizing children’s and youth MMA in Ukraine. The event brought together high-level athletes, professional organizers, Ukrainian and international media, representatives of local authorities, and the charitable sector.

For the Foundation, supporting initiatives like this is an investment in the future of Ukrainian youth. We are proud to support Pereloma Fight Academy and its athletes over the years, and we remain committed to standing alongside them on their journey forward.
