LAHORE, Pakistan: The Pakistan Mixed Martial Arts Federation (PakMMA) has launched Pakistan Combat Night 2025, a three-day international tournament featuring more than 200 fighters from across the world. Held from August 22 to 24 in Lahore, the event is among the largest MMA competitions ever staged in Pakistan.
Taking place at BraveGym in Lahore, the tournament includes qualifiers and semifinals, with the grand finale open to everyone at the DHA Phase 6 Sports Complex.
Under the leadership of PakMMA President Omar Ahmed, talented fighters are coming from not just Pakistan but also Egypt, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and many more countries.
Following nationwide trials, this tournament aims to spotlight fresh talent and give them a big platform.
The winners of some pro-card matches will even get a chance to compete in the Road to BRAVE series in Georgia, USA, later this year – an exciting opportunity for Pakistan’s best fighters to shine on the world stage.
To keep the athletes safe, Rizwan Aftab Ahmed, CEO of ACTIVIT and director of the National Hospital & Medical Centre, will oversee all medical care and emergency responses during the event.
This tournament follows the success of Pakistan Combat Week 2024, which saw over 200 fighters from 18 different countries gathering in Lahore.
ACTIVIT, a key partner in both events, has set a high standard by providing on-site medical facilities for injury care—something new for combat sports in Pakistan.
The main event will showcase two of Pakistan’s rising stars, both supported by ACTIVIT:
- Rizwan Ali (9-0) from Pakistan vs. Adham Mohammed (11-4) from Egypt
- Eman “Falcon” Khan (6-3) from Pakistan vs. Maha Houmiel (3-1) from Tunisia
- Both fighters have received assistance in training, nutrition, and medical care to prepare for this exciting clash.
Other thrilling matches on the main card include:
- Zia Mashwani vs. Samad Moradmand
- Aqib Awan vs. Mohamed Abo Ali
- Ismail Khan vs. Lazizhhon Uzbehov
- Babar Ali vs. Serkhan Valili
