The Chairman of the Commission, Irman Smajic, was an outstanding heavyweight and one of Sweden’s most decorated amateur MMA talents. As well as multiple IMMAF World titles, Irman was also a gold medallist at the European and Asian Open Championships. Irman successfully made his professional MMA debut in 2018, having first started his athletic journey later than most, as a means to combat obesity. Outside of MMA, Irman is a dentist and has been involved with volunteer causes to provide dental care for children in the Philippines following Super Typhon Yolanda. Irman’s journey cements him not only as a role model for mixed martial artists, but for all individuals looking to utilise sport as a path to greater wellness.
