Last weekend, France hosted its first ever MMA event with a cage and United Rules.
On September 19, 2015, Mixed Martial Arts took a major step in France when an event was hosted on the country's soil that featured the Unified Rules, as well as a cage. It was the first time that such an event took place in the country.
The event, World Warriors Fighting Championship (WWFC), utilized the MMA cage in a public event that featured police officers in attendance. They refrained from shutting the event down, even though they warned the promoter beforehand. It was a historic Saturday evening for the French MMA community.
