The Pakistan Combat Night 2025 event kicked off on Friday with quarterfinals and semifinals taking place in 12 categories, featuring the top Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters of the country.
The quarterfinals on the opening day witnessed bouts in strawweight, flyweight, bantamweight, featherwieght, lightweight, welterweight, middleweightweight, and light heavyweight categories for men.
Meanwhile, atomweight, flyweight, bantamweight, and featherweight bouts will take place in the event for women fighters.
ACTIVIT is supporting the event by providing medical treatment to the fighters in the event to ensure the safety and health of the athletes.
PAKMMAF President Omar Ahmed was quoted in the local media, thanking the Government of Punjab.
He thanked Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz for her leadership, “With her all-out support, the MMA is now the sport of choice for Pakistani youth, who can relate more to Khabib than Babar Azam. We are proud to see it emerge as the future of sports with some champions as global icons.”
The main event, “Battle for Truth – Pakistan Combat Night,” will take place on August 24.
The fights will be held across two venues. The qualifiers and semifinals will take place at BraveGym in Lahore on August 22 and 23.
The grand finale and the main event will be open to the general public at the DHA Phase 6 Sports Complex in Lahore.
The mega event is organised solely by the PAKMMA Federation, under the leadership of its President Omar Ahmed.
The tournament brings together professional and amateur fighters from Pakistan, Egypt, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, and beyond.
The event followed a series of nationwide selection trials and is being positioned as a national platform for talent development. Select pro card athletes from this tournament will be granted the opportunity to participate in the prestigious Road to BRAVE series in Georgia, USA, later this year — offering global exposure to Pakistan's top fighters.
To ensure the safety and well-being of all athletes, the event is being supported by Rd. Rizwan Aftab Ahmed, CEO ACTIVIT and Director of National Hospital & Medical Centre who will be providing on-site medical care, emergency response services, and athlete support throughout the tournament.
Two of Pakistan's top fighters — both ACTIVIT-sponsored athletes — will feature in the main card:
Rizwan Ali (Pakistan, 9-0) will face Adham Mohammed (Egypt, 11-4)
Eman Falcon Khan (Pakistan, 6-3) will compete against Maha Houmiel (Tunisia, 3-1)
Both athletes' nutrition, training, and medical support in the lead-up to the event have been facilitated by ACTIVIT.
