It was a little less than two years ago when UFC Hall of Fame inductee Urijah Faber switched hats from competitor to promoter. In 2022, what was then known as Firepower MMA became known as A1 Combat.
It should be noted that the Firepower MMA moniker has still been used for its “Future Stars” events taking place within the amateur ranks. With the change in moniker came a bump in exposure.
Effective with the May 1, 2022 A1 Combat 1 event, the promotion’s cards would now be seen live on UFC Fight Pass.
