TheInternational Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) was founded on 29 February 2012 as the international governing body for amateur mixed martial arts (MMA). Registered as a non-profit organization under Swedish law, IMMAF serves as a democratic hub for national MMA federations and supports the growth of regulation and sport safety globally by aiding countries in the formation of federations where none exist.[3] IMMAF launched with support of market leader, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[4][5][6] The UFC is among promotions sanctioned by federations under the IMMAF umbrella in countries that include Brazil and Sweden.[7][8][9][10]

IMMAF now is in Switzerland (Roveredo via Toveda n. 3) near the Swiss Mixed Martial Arts Federation, which oversaw the transfer in all administrative aspects. In 2023, IMMAF extended its partnership with Brave Combat Federation to expedite the development of the sport at grassroots levels with financial and operational support.[11]

After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the IMMAF suspended the memberships of the Russian MMA Union and the Federation of Hand-to-Hand Fighting & MMA of Belarus. It barred the Russian and Belarusian federations from participating in all IMMAF Championships, and banned the organization of IMMAF events in Russia and Belarus.[12]

A contestant who was knocked out as a result of a blow to the head, or whose match was stopped by the judge because of several tough blows to the head which have made him/her defenseless and unable to continue, shall be suspended from competition and sparring matches.

Since 2017, IMMAF has partnered with [[Br[15]ave Combat Federation]] to host world championships outside the USA.[16] As a result, Bahrain became the second nation to host IMMAF World Championships in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Subsequently, IMMAF partnered with the organization to host the 2021 IMMAF World Cup and 2022 MMA Super Cup.[17][18] Further, the organization hosted its first world championship in Europe by partnering with Brave Combat Federation to host IMMAF World Championships Week from February 10-18, 2023 in Belgrade, Serbia.[19] In partnership with Brave Combat Federation, IMMAF has hosted the first ever World Cup in 2021 followed by 2022 MMA Super Cup in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The promotion also absorbs athletes transitioning from amateur to professional MMA, including major names such as Jose Torres, Frans Mlambo, Mohammed Mokaev, Eliezer Kubanza, Nkosi Ndebele, and many more.[20]

UWMMA as governing and officiating body is enabling international competition through the organization of national federations and by sanctioning of professional martial arts promotions around the world.

Mixed martial arts champions come in all sizes -- from heavyweights up to 265 pound, to atomweights at 105 pounds. They come from all around the world -- from Australia to Brazil to Cleveland to Dagestan. They fight for organizations ranging from the UFC, the biggest fight promotion in the world, to Bellator and the PFL, as well as Asian powerhouse One Championship and Japan's Rizin, and the all-women fight organization Invicta FC.

ONE Championship uses the Global Mixed Martial Arts Rule Set, which blends a combination of best practices from Asian and Non-Asian rules in mixed martial arts. All athletes will wear 4-ounce mixed martial arts gloves in their bouts.

Each bout will be three rounds of five minutes per round, with a one-minute break between rounds. World Championship bouts will be five rounds of five minutes per round, with a one-minute break between rounds.

CHICAGO - With uniform rules and regulation enacted to safeguard the health and safety of contestants and protect the integrity of mixed martial arts (MMA) events, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (DFPR) will be regulating the event and expects that the November 7, 2009 nationally televised MMA event at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates will continue to raise the State's profile for future mixed martial arts matches.

The fight between Russian heavyweight Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko, who is the #1-ranked heavyweight MMA fighter in the world, and undefeated American heavyweight Brett "The Grimm" Rogers will air in primetime nationally at 8 p.m. CST on CBS.

"We are very excited about bringing this highly anticipated heavyweight fight, featuring the number one MMA fighter in the world, to the state of Illinois," said Scott Coker, CEO of Strikeforce. "Chicago is a magnificent city with a rich history and we are looking forward to making our debut there with a world-class Strikeforce and M-1 Global fight card."

Illinois athletics officials expect that the Emelianenko vs. Rogers main event will draw enough fans to potentially sell out the Sears Centre Arena's nearly 12,000 seats. Tickets for the November 7th bouts are priced from $35 up to $500 for ringside seats. With thousands of spectators, more than 100 participants, including referees, judges and fighters gathering at the Sears Center, the state expects significant revenues to be generated that will benefit Illinoisans.

Recognizing that the key component to maintaining the integrity and safety of MMA as a sport is having well trained, certified and ultimately expert officials such as referees and judges, the Illinois Athletic Commission is planning to conduct a training session for MMA officials. This two-day training session will take place on November 7th and 8th also in Hoffman Estates.
