The activities of Jordan MMA Week concluded in the capital, Amman, last Friday night with the "Desert Force: Uncaged" championship held at the Roman Amphitheatre, amidst a large public turnout and the participation of fighters from Jordan and a number of Arab and foreign countries.
The evening was attended by a number of Jordanian officials and figures, alongside international sports and artistic personalities, including former world boxing champion Mike Tyson, Brazilian football star Ronaldinho, Turkish actor Engin Altan Düzyatan, and social media star Hasbulla Magomedov.
Jordanian fighters recorded a distinguished presence in the championship competitions, as Zaki Kayali, Yazan Belawi, and Freih Harahsheh achieved victories in the preliminary card bouts, while Abdullah Jawish participated in the main card, as part of the Jordanian participation in the evening which featured 14 professional bouts.
The bouts were accompanied by artistic and heritage segments, as the Jordanian Armed Forces Band performed musical shows, while the Ma'an Folk Arts Troupe presented segments of Dabke and Dahhiya, alongside performances of Circassian folklore.
The squares surrounding the amphitheatre also witnessed performances by actors wearing costumes inspired by Roman and Nabataean armies, in addition to entertainment activities accompanying the event.
The event began with the playing of the Royal Anthem and a minute of silence in mourning for the souls of the victims of the Karak attack.
The events were organized by "Makana 360" and "Jordan Combat Consulting," in cooperation with the Jordan Mixed Martial Arts Federation, with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities and the Jordan Tourism Board, as part of efforts aimed at diversifying the Jordanian tourism product and promoting sports tourism.
