Sergio
Batarelli, the creator of International Vale Tudo Championship
(IVC), an event that showcased MMA legends such as Wanderlei
Silva and Pedro Rizzo in
the 1990s, is starting a new promotion.
Batarelli revealed to Sherdog.com that MMA Fight Sport will hold
its debut event in Qatar later in 2023. According to Batarelli, it
will be a tournament with qualification matches leading to a “knockout” stage, with a total prize of $1 million in cash per
category. In addition, there will be different rules and weight
categories, to be announced soon.
“It will be a cage-style event, with weekly editions starting from
November 2023 and a pay-per-view event every three months,”
Batarelli said. “Anyone who holds or has an official title can send
us their information.
Interested competitors can send their fight information via email
to [email protected].
