Malaysia’s def facto leading amateur platform kicks off its National Tournament this weekend when Malaysian Invasion Fighting Championship begin ‘Ladder Match’ elimination rounds from April 16-17 at the Paradigm Mall in Selangor. Last year IMMAF.org discussed the importance of Amateur MMA and the Malaysian Invasion platform with Victor Cui, a leading figure for MMA in the region and CEO/Owner of Singapore-based ONE Championship, Asia’s leading professional Mixed Martial Arts promotion – click HERE for the full feature. The Malaysian Invasion is sanctioned by the Malaysia Mixed Martial Arts Association (MASMMAA) who serve as the nation’s government regulator for the sport. “This event is generally considered to be the de facto national event,” MASMMAA Secretary Yap Brent explained, “since it is held on a nationwide talent search tryout basis. Every year, with the exception of the defending champions, all participants irregardless of their past record are required to run through the assessments and a knockout tournament begins.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG_X5WFqlkw]]>
