If you are a legit combat sports fan, you should know that Malaysia used to be the leader in the MMA scene in South East Asia. When MMA was still not allowed in Thailand, Malaysia had a vibrant amateur MMA scene lead by MIMMA ( Malaysian Invasion MMA ). It was huge! Well structured & run professionally. It was a year long event that had selection in regions across Malaysia, selected fighters fought in a tournament & culminating in a grand finale in Kuala Lumpur.
It was a birthplace & brewing ground for many Malaysian fighters. It also gave rise to a thriving business in the martial arts gym all over Malaysia. Started in 2013 it lasted 5 seasons till 2018. After MIMMA, the MMA scene in Malaysia seems to slow down, overtaken by huge development in Thailand, Philippines & Indonesia.
After MIMMA ended, one of the leading personalities from MIMMA, the charismatic emcee & showman extraordinaire – Jon Nutt, focus on his own promotion – FMD ( Full Metal Dojo ) based in Thailand. Initially also a MMA promotion, but eventually as Jon became more & more creative & wanted to build unique product, FMD evolved into Fight Circus.
