AMMAN, Jordan – Desert Force returned to the spotlight Friday with a 14-fight card at the Roman Theatre, where Mukhamed Berkhamov closed the show with a victory and Mohammad Fakhreddine closed the book on his career.

DF Uncaged took place Oct. 30 at the historic venue in the Jordanian capital, bringing together international veterans and regional prospects for the culmination of Jordan MMA Week.

In the main event, Berkhamov defeated Dante Schiro by unanimous decision after three rounds in their 176-pound catchweight bout.

The co-main event needed less than a minute. Mikhail Ragozin knocked out UFC veteran Andrew Sanchez with punches at the 57-second mark of Round 1, delivering one of the night’s most emphatic finishes.

But the evening’s most emotional moment belonged to Fakhreddine.

The Lebanese veteran suffered a first-round TKO loss to John-Martin Fraser, who finished the fight with punches at 2:28. Afterward, Fakhreddine announced his retirement at age 42, ending a career that helped shape the Arab MMA scene.

A multiple-time BRAVE CF champion across two weight divisions and the promotion’s first Hall of Fame inductee, Fakhreddine made his final appearance in a city closely tied to his Desert Force journey. His farewell gave the organization’s return an emotional significance beyond the results.

Elsewhere on the card, Islam Chelouti stopped home favorite Abdallah Jaweesh with a knee and punches at 4:12 of Round 3. Kurbanali Isabekov knocked out Catalin Safta with a punch 34 seconds into the second round, while Basel Mohamed Abdelhamid earned a split decision over Faris Alraimi.

Frieh Harahsheh also secured a first-round finish, forcing Djilali Cherrati to submit to punches. Abubakar Debziev submitted Levy Carriel with a north-south choke at 2:53 of the opening round.

The event drew prominent guests from across sports and entertainment, including Mike Tyson, Ronaldinho, Javier Mendez, Hasbulla Magomedov and Engin Altan Duzyatan.

Led by Zaid Mirza and Mohammad Mirza, DF Uncaged was jointly organized by Makana 360 and Jordan Combat Consulting under the supervision of the Jordan Mixed Martial Arts Federation, with support from Jordan’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Jordan Tourism Board.

Set against the Roman Theatre’s second-century backdrop, the event paired Desert Force’s regional legacy with a new platform for Arab and international fighters.
