About Fightzumi

Born from a passion for combat sports and community, Fightzumi has become the UK's fastest growing multi-disciplinary combat sports promotion.

Who We Are

The Core of Combat

Fightzumi was founded on a simple belief: that the UK's combat sports scene deserved a platform that matched the passion of its fighters and fans. From our very first event, we set out to create something different, raw, authentic, and community-driven.

Today, with five events behind us, over 6,000 fans through our doors, and a social following of 900,000+, we've built something genuinely special. Fightzumi 6.0 is our biggest chapter yet.
