FightBox is proud to announce that MMA Bushido, one of Europe’s longest-running mixed martial arts promotions, returns to live action from Brussels, Belgium on Sunday May 3rd starting at 7:00 pm CEST.
MMA Bushido is back for what will be the promotion’s first all-caged event since May of 2019. It is also the promotion’s debut in Belgium. In the main event, Bellator veteran Jair “JJ” Junior (6 - 3) takes on Australia’s top featherweight “Genghis” Kaan Ofli (8 - 2 - 1) for the MMA Bushido Featherweight Championship. Ofli comes into the bout on a five fight win streak and has been known to be finisher, either knocking out or submitting six of his eight victories. However, Junior has never been finished in his career.
Also, in the co-main event at lightweight, Cisse Cidiri of France faces Cedric Lushima of Belgium. Cidiri represents the world renown MMA Factory gym in France and is heavily touted as a strong up-and-coming talent.
