В 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.” When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did What is your function and main activities within WMMAA? How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
В.Ф.: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Так, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 спортсмени. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.” What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?

It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great. Ще раз, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Федір Ємельяненко is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships.

WMMAA keeps expanding, проте, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
В.Ф.: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Спортсмени’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development.
