Quick read

Russian MMA fighters have been permitted to participate in international youth tournaments with their national flag and anthem. Winners of the Russian championship for athletes aged 12 to 17, which took place in Alushta, will be able to compete in IMMAF international competitions this year. IMMAF has also restored the membership of the Union of MMA of Russia. This development was announced by Mikhail Degtyarev on his Telegram channel. The decision represents a significant change in the participation status of Russian youth fighters in international MMA competition. The policy applies specifically to the youth age categories rather than senior professional competitions.
