MMA fight announcements are hard to follow. With so many outlets and channels available, it’s nearly impossible to organize. Our friend Yousef Mohammed from MMA 101 has found his ways though.
Each month, we will compile all the newly surfaced fights in one spot. Similar to this article, you can expect a feature listing all the announced fights and upcoming events that feature Arab athletes.
