The godfather of Zambian MMA Robert Simbowe MMA "The Black Tiger" shares a positive and heartfelt message.
Rob Simbowe is the pioneer of Zambian mixed Martial arts, a man who laid the groundwork for future athletes to turn the sport into a legitimate career path. Without him then being mixed martial arts would not be where it is today.
In the moving message, Rob shared encouragement and well wishes to our two athletes, Jai chilufya MMA and Batista Mende , who are competing tonight in Kenya, at ANZA Pro Night 002. Wishing them all the success and congratulating them on their effort and dedication.
And in a special recognition to Fight 2One champion Ken Sekeletu and PFL Africa athlete The Miracle Miracle Chipito—both setting the benchmark for what Zambian MMA can achieve on the global stage.
MMA Zambia continues to move forward, and figures like Rob Simbowe remain central to that progress.
Thank you to The Black Tiger from MMA Zambia
