The record

The talent was
always here

The Arab fighter has never lacked talent, discipline or a following. What the region lacked was a professional platform built to match them.

Desert Force built it. Born in Amman in 2010, it travelled across the Pan-Arab world and built a real industry behind the sport: gyms, federations, champions and an audience that crossed every border.

Ten televised events. Close to one hundred professional fights across seven weight classes, broadcast region-wide on MBC Action, and fighters who left that cage for international titles and the UFC.

That work built the expertise, the network and the standard.

From the creators of Desert Force, DF UNCAGED emerges: a new property built on that record, not Desert Force renamed. An international sport, tourism and media property, rooted in Jordan and built to travel.

Jordan is not simply the host. Jordan is home, and the launchpad.

The creed

Every once in a while, you have to show the world who you are and what you are capable of. If you want to be the best, you must defend that title when it matters. When you are a warrior, you must stand and fight when the moment calls for it. In the game of winners and losers, the winners are only placeholders for those willing to outwork them.

Because every now and then, a lion has to show the jackals who he is.

Why we build

Four reasons,
one property

01

To build the professional stage the Arab fighter deserves, rooted in Jordan.

02

To discover, develop and promote the next generation of Pan-Arab professionals.

03

To bring world-class international athletes in, and take Arab champions out into the global MMA ecosystem.

04

To establish Jordan as the region’s destination for combat sport: sport, history, tourism and entertainment in one property.

The Roman Theatre,
Amman

The fight night

Stone and steel

2nd century AD, approximately 6,000 seats in steep tiered stone. The cage on the orchestra floor, the audience rising around it. The card is staged here and nowhere else.

The week around it

Across Jordan

The press conference at Fairmont Amman, the open workout at the Dead Sea Corniche, and the ceremonial weigh-ins at the Amman Citadel. See the fight week.

Heritage first

Temporary only

Every activity at a historic or archaeological site is planned with the relevant authorities and to site-protection requirements. Temporary infrastructure only, respecting the fabric of each location.

The card brings world-class international fighters to Amman alongside elite regional talent. These are modern-day gladiators — measured not by violence, but by discipline, courage and respect.
