History
[ edit ]
MMA Grand Prix was created in 2020, upon the legalization of MMA's internationally accepted rules (which include ground strikes) by the French government. Their first card was held on 8 October of that year, in presence of French Minister of Sports Roxana Maracineanu .[5] [4] French Boxing Federation , which has been accredited by the Ministry of Sports to regulate the activity.[6]
Co-founder Éric Konako Faubert is a London-based promoter for Muay Thai Grand Prix, an international thai boxing promotion, with whom MMA Grand Prix shares common branding.[2]
The promotion's first card held outside of the Paris region , The Last of the Kings in Le Havre , featured a comeback fight from veteran kickboxer turned mixed martial artist Jérome Le Banner . It served as a tribute to Le Banner's training partner and Le Havre mayor Édouard Philippe who, during his term as prime minister , was responsible for the legalization of French MMA.[7] [8] [9]
