ABU DHABI: The UAE Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts Federation has finalized preparations for the seventh UAE National MMA Championship, on Feb. 7 and 8 at Shabab Al-Ahli Club in Dubai.
The championship is set to bring together men and women athletes representing leading clubs and academies from across the UAE, the organizers said in a recent release.
The competition will include youth and adult age categories from 10 to 17, and 18 and above.
Mohammed bin Dalmouj Al-Dhaheri, board member of the UAE Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts Federation, said the championship shows how rapidly the sport has grown in the UAE.
“The federation continues to support this progress by providing regular competition and training opportunities, guided by a clear plan to build strong national teams capable of competing internationally.
“The role families play in supporting their sons and daughters from the stands is equally important, as it creates an environment where sporting passion is matched by family support.
“This aligns with the UAE leadership’s vision in declaring 2026 as the Year of the Family.”
