Combat cage fighting is a safe, regulated, competitive sport that involves a combination of martial arts techniques within the restrictions of a confined space. The first-of-its-kind event in India intertwines a show of the complexity of technical self-defence skills with the pulsating vibe of a nightclub experience.

This time, 24 fighters will take to the ring in 12 high energy bouts across both nights. Beginning at 6.00 p.m., the nights will feature some of the best music and entertainment of the season, with renowned DJs spinning unforgettable sets between bouts in the high-voltage ambience. The fabulous Barney Bowe returns as the MC and presenter for the evening, keeping spirits high and the atmosphere engaging.

Goa’s main card entry for the Combat Cage Fight Night on December 18 is Nelson Paes, who stole the show last year with his quick moves and finishing with a superb knock out. Also participating are popular fighters Himanshu Kushik and Goa’s Pushka Bhosle. Returning from last season are Danny Manpola, Suraj Bahadur, Rohit Pundar, Vivek Sharma who will vie for the ultimate title in India’s mixed martial arts scene.

As always, CCF places great importance on the inclusion of women in the show, with each fight night showcasing one ladies’ bout. Last year’s winner Bharti Pundar will enter the ring again, eager to retain her title after last year’s showdown with Goan boxer Sonia Parab.
