Beginners to fight for autism at first 'white collar' MMA fight

Sunday 05 February 2017


Ten novices have signed up for an intense 13-week training camp in order to become MMA Fighters.

Among the 10 workers - of which two are female - a legal assistant, a banker, a bus driver, a kitchen fitter and a barman can be found, who will compete together as part of the Island’s first ever White Collar MMA fights.

The ‘Genesis’ event will take place at Fort Regent and will mark Rumble on the Rock’s first White Collar fight. The programme of the event will also include a multi-show tournament series, as well as first time fighters.

The event will raise money for local charity Autism Jersey with the help of special guest former world champion Liam McGeary, who is an ambassador for ‘Fighting for Autism’.

Guests at the event will be able to take part in Charity Sumo and enter the octagon in a sumo suit to help raise money.
