Odense has a long history of MMA

The Danish Mixed Martial Arts / MMA Gala has partnered with Odense Sport & Event to plan this first “big” event in what they call the MMA capital of Denmark.

“MMA GALA provides Nordic clubs with a unique opportunity together to lift the sport and expose fighters in the Nordic region for both amateurs and professionals.”

Sparekassen Fyn Arena (4,000 – 5,000 capacity) is the future goal for the organization that looks to build toward bigger and bigger events.
