Home – About Us
MMA-SFI (Mixed Martial Arts Sports Federation of India) is the national governing body for MMA in India. We are committed to building a transparent, athlete-first structure that supports Indian fighters from the grassroots to the global stage. Affiliated with AMMA (Asian Mixed Martial Arts Association) and GAMMA (Global Authority for Mixed Martial Arts), MMA-SFI operates with international standards to ensure fair competition, certified coaching and officiating and fighter welfare at every level. We aim to organise sanctioned district, state, and national-level championships, provide training and certification for officials and work to create legitimate pathways for Indian athletes to represent the country in continental and world championships.
At our core, we believe that Indian fighters deserve more than just a platform-they deserve a system that supports their dreams with structure, safety, and opportunity.
Our vision is to build a strong, structured future for Indian MMA - where fighters from every background get the opportunity, resources and recognition they deserve. We aim to uplift Indian athletes by supporting them with quality coaching, scientific training methods, proper nutrition, medical safety and access to national and international platforms. Our goal is clear: to develop world-class fighters who bring medals home and make India a respected name in global MMA. We are working to ensure that every fighter, whether from a big city or a small town has a fair shot at success-through transparent systems, certified officials and a professional fight infrastructure. MMA-SFI stands for progress, transparency and athlete-first governance so that Indian MMA is no longer just growing, but thriving.
