June 22, 2015 – Mr. Khalil Nassour, one of the earliest pioneers of MMA in Lebanon, received Desert Force officials Zaid Mirza, CEO, and COO Zaid Abu Saoud in his residence in Beirut. The arrangements held between the two parties bring Arab mixed martial arts fans one step closer to witnessing the first ever Desert Force event in Lebanon!
As disclosed to ArabsMMA by Mr. Khalil Nassour’s media office, the scheduling of the event will not be made official until further logistic technicalities in the country are sorted out.
Mr. Khalil Nassour is a true MMA fan and avid practitioner, and his generosity is what distinguishes him from the rest. In 2014, he took it upon himself to sponsor and support “Team Lebanon” in the upcoming IMMAF- Amateur Mixed Martial Arts World Championship event to be held in Las Vegas, USA. Not to mention supporting Tristar Gym’s Mr. Wissam Abi Nader with his candidacy to join the board of the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation.
In honor of his active role in the support and development of the game at a national and global level, Mr. Zaid Mirza and Mr. Zaid Abu Saoud offered an honorary shield to Mr. Nassour and in turn thanked him for his loyalty to the sport and efforts in the region.
ArabsMMA will be the first to announce further updates and news on Desert Force Lebanon, stay tuned!
Wow !! Great achievement for Lebanon as more and more people are focusing on things that matters for the youth and sports !! Keep it up Mr. Nassour , your efforts will soon pay off !!
Respect.
