MMA Zambia

One of Zambia's brightest stars shines this June in Nigeria!

The Miracle Shelda Chipito returns to the PFL Africa cage on June 13th in Nigeria, set to face Haidy Ahmed in a high-stakes matchup.

This is a key moment. A return to a major stage against a serious opponent. Shelda "Miracle" Chipito steps in with experience, discipline, and a clear winning mindset as always.

Nigeria will host the clash, but the focus stays on ex*****on. Preparation has been deliberate. The task is simple: perform, impose, and secure the result.

Zambia stands behind you!

Here is something we’ve been waiting for 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Official Notice

MMA Zambia informs all the public that the events scheduled for the month of May 2026, namely; King of Komboni and ZNAL 11, have been postponed.

This decision allows for a more structured and effective rollout of both events. It also gives coaches and athletes adequate time to regroup and recover following a highly successful Africa Championship campaign in Angola.

We remain committed to delivering quality events. Work is already underway toward a standout event this June.

Further updates will be shared soon.

Come Zambia, let's vote for our athletes...

Zambia to the world 🇿🇲🌍

Ken Sekeletu steps onto the international stage at FightZone 11, and he’s doing it in a NEW division.

Moving up to Lightweight, Ken takes on Codutti for the title in Tenerife, Spain on May 23 🏆

New weight. Same intent.

As our athletes continue to break into global platforms, it’s important that structures grow alongside them, we look forward to seeing continued engagement and support from the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts and the National Sports Council of Zambia in observing and strengthening pathways at this level.

This is what progression looks like, testing ourselves beyond borders, taking on bigger challenges, and carrying the Zambian flag with pride.

All eyes on this one 🇿🇲🔥

At the 2026 IMMAF Africa Championships in Luanda, Angola, Zambia was proudly represented not only by its athletes, but also by its growing pool of world-class officials - a testament to the technical pathways MMA Zambia is building for referees, judges, and officials to reach the highest levels of the sport.

We thank the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts for sending a delegation to witness firsthand the professionalism and standards required at championship level, while engaging in important discussions around capacity building to grow Zambia’s pool of accredited officials for future international assignments.

We equally thank IMMAF & Africa MMA Confederation (AMMAC) for giving our officials the opportunity to showcase their abilities at such a prestigious event.
