One of the key aspects that creates a successful MMA fighter is the training and preparation received by his or her team. That being said, it is understandable that Mixed Martial Artists competing inside the cage are an extension of their respective teams which they represent. A victory for the fighter is also a victory for the entire team who has often cared, pushed and sacrificed in order to support the fighters in their journey to what they hope will be a successful outcome on fight night.
Phoenix Fighting Championship ended 2017 with “Phoenix 4 Dubai” which welcomed 15 MMA bouts with fighters competing from all around the world inside the cage. Two teams had a particularly noticeable presence at the event and their fighters faced each other on more than one occasion.
