Desert Force MMA coming to Kuwait?!

Desert Force is an MMA promotion based out of Jordan, and recently they took their show on the road to Dubai.

Broadcasting their events on MBC Action they have a great television deal, which is a real platform for fighters in the Middle East looking to get exposure fighting for the regions premier professional organization.

Yesterday on Facebook Arab UFC commentator Mohammad Al Hosani put up a post recognizing Ashraf Shishani and Jahed Toghoug, two of the main guys responsible for the operations of Desert Force.

I was pleased to see Mr. Shishani state that a plan to bring Desert force to Kuwait is already in the works, and Inshallah we will get an opportunity to showcase Kuwaiti talent in the #1 mma promotion in the Middle East when they come to Kuwait.

Those of you who have never watched a Desert Force event, the organization is produced on the same scale as a UFC event, with UFC ref Yves Lavigne largely responsible for overseeing the action.

With the arrival of Desert Force, fighters in Kuwait will have an opportunity to compete as professionals, with pay and given the broadcast deal of MBC Sports, should have a real opportunity to secure sponsorship for competing. It’s nice seeing other shows realize the mma potential in Kuwait.

MMA is growing in the Middle East and I look forward to helping promote the sport! Desert Force has really led the way in the Middle East in regards to mma.
