The MMAA Arena Cup was a project launched 10 years ago by the Czech MMA Association, the GAMMA Member in the Czech Republic, which follows a format based on eight qualification events that lead to an epic final showdown where the very best Czech athletes can showcase their skills.

Since its creation, there have been more than 80 successful events featuring thousands of bouts. The focus is given to the long-term preparation of athletes who can collect ranking points monthly which count towards qualification for the final, where the two highest-ranked athletes have the chance to compete for the national title.

The latest edition of the event took place on 25 March in Plzen which included 35 bouts and featured 91 athletes. It was streamed via the Fight Scout Platform which is now a GAMMA partner. 

Commenting on the 2023 Arena Cup so far, Czech MMA Association President and GAMMA representative Martin Skvara said, “the 2022 / 2023 MMAA Arena Cup has been an incredible adventure so far. We still have another nine events to come which will include more than 500 athletes.”

The next event is scheduled on 22 April in Mlada Boleslav.
