Rage Kombat launches multi-discipline fight league on February 8

Night to include boxing, MMA, Brazilian jiujitsu and kudo bouts

Rage Kombat hosts their debut event on February 8 in Pembroke – an evening that will feature boxing, MMA, Brazilian Jiujitsu, Kudo, and live music.

Founder Mark Wilson Smith discussed his huge plans for this new promotion.

“Creating Rage Kombat was something I had thought about for a while,” he said.

“I come from a boxing background, but I have always had an interest in all types of martial arts, so if I enjoy watching multiple combat sports then I am sure a lot of other people do too.

“Therefore, combining many of these in the same event was a logical decision to make.

‘‘But it goes far beyond that. I want to present very old and traditional martial arts in a more modern ‘fight night’ setting.

“Let’s move away from small, school halls and stage these events in large arenas with great special effects, live music, and pyrotechnics. It will really bring certain martial arts to a totally new audience.

“Our first event will be taking place in Malta, a country that I have strong ties to. It is a country with a passion for combat sports – every month there is a boxing, kickboxing, or MMA event.

“They have the fighters, the gyms, the right set-up, and importantly dedicated fans.”

For this debut event, Rage Kombat is collaborating with top names such as the Malta Boxing Association, KOTV, Boxing Media Hub, and Triller TV among others; not to mention a raft of popular Maltese talent like Christian ‘Coqqos’ Schembri, Brandon Borg, and ‘Prince’ Bray Pace.

Interestingly, the show will be split into three parts.

Firstly, fans will be treated to ‘Rage Kontender, ’ a feeder series where local amateur boxers look to impress. Then, a Brazilian samba band will entertain the crowd before the main event — the professional fighters competing in various combat disciplines. 

“Going forward, we will be looking to include as many different combat sports as possible, while attracting well known professional fighters and celebrities looking to get involved,” Smith said.

“It’s going to be an exciting and fun venture. At heart I am a fight fan too, so I will be ensuring that Rage Kombat gives the fans a promotion that they will enjoy following.  Essentially, exciting fights featuring emerging talent and some big names, plus a few innovative ideas.”

The event will take place at the Pembroke Indoor Skate-park on Saturday, February 8.
