In Bengaluru, a new revolution is brewing — ‘.com-bat’

Bengaluru: In a landmark moment for India’s combat sports journey, Ronin FC, one of the country’s most promising Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) promotions, lit up the stage at Bangalore City University – Basecamp by Push Sports with a spectacular fight night that fused adrenaline, precision, and purpose.

The professionally curated event brought together top-tier amateur and professional fighters from across India in a doctor-supervised, safety-first setting — offering fans an authentic, high-octane MMA experience rarely seen on Indian soil.

More than just a night of punches and submissions, the event served as a launchpad for rising fighters — showcasing disciplines like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling, and mixed martial arts in a format aligned with global standards.

Backed by medical partners like Aster and Danes Medical, and sponsors including Raaga Constructions, every bout was governed by world-class safety protocols, giving both fighters and fans a sense of professionalism and credibility that is fast becoming Ronin FC’s hallmark.

The match card featured standout battles that had the crowd of 150 spectators roaring with energy. Highlights included a fierce clash between Prakhar of Siliguri and Mairidin Newmai of Matrix Fight Night, and an international flavour with Shoaib Khan (Goa) going toe-to-toe with Bishal Sahu.

Local fan favourites Ranjan and Havish, both BJJ blue belts, displayed exceptional technical prowess in a matchup that epitomized the future of Indian MMA.

What sets Ronin FC apart is its fighter-first model, designed to nurture long-term careers through sustained development, competitive matchmaking, and exposure to international formats.

Many of the event’s athletes, including South Asian MMA champions and World Championship medallists, represented the elite emerging from India’s evolving fight scene.

Ronin FC’s mission is clear: to build an Indian MMA ecosystem rooted in skill, safety, and strategy. With this latest event, it has taken a giant leap toward making India a global destination for combat sports.
