About Full Contact Championship:

The rules are simple, knockout or submission. The combat has gained popularity due to its raw nature. The event is often spiced up with a DJ streaming house music pumping up the night with energy.

With FCC, Prashant Kumar introduced the fight nights and the concept of Pro Mixed Martial Arts in India back in 2009. Since then, he has been working on building this sport in India. The aim is to provide a platform to the male and female MMA fighters in India. FCC is a stage for talented Indian MMA fighters (a majority of whom belong to rural India) to perform and prove themselves to the world. These fighters are highly skilled in Muay Thai, Karate, Grappling, Judo, Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing. They have undergone years of intense, demanding and disciplined training. They have honed their skills, sharpened their instincts and made weapons of their bodies.

Over a period of time FCC has expanded their network, and gone international, by tying up with various MMA organizations across the globe. This has aided FCC on an international and domestic level with an influx of foreign talent. With Joy Kapoor and Binoy Khimji joining hands with Prashant Kumar as promoters, the trio is planning to take the sport at a Pan India Level where a fight night will soon become a part of entertainment for Indian Audiences giving the much deserved limelight to the MMA fighter.
