Founded in 2025, the purpose of the Federation of International Mixed Martial Arts (FIMMA) is to develop, regulate and promote amateur MMA worldwide, building on the work of the Asian Mixed Martial Arts Association (AMMA). FIMMA aims to unite national federations and continental bodies within a global structure, promoting athlete safety, standardised competition rules, and education and certification programmes for coaches, referees and technical officials. Through national, continental and world-level competition pathways, FIMMA seeks to create safe and structured opportunities for athletes to develop and compete internationally. Its long-term vision is to achieve wider international sports recognition and ultimately secure MMA’s inclusion in the Olympic Games.
