On Saturday, October 18, the amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) competition “KMMA34 Daegu” will be held at KMMA Popeye Arena in Jung-gu, Daegu. There are a total of 43 games, including 17 â–² sports Novices, â–² 14 amateur games for aspiring athletes, and 12 semi-professional games for aspiring professionals.
Due to space constraints, “Popey Union Member KMMA34 Daegu,” which is held without spectators, will be broadcast live on Chador, Yang Director TV, and KMMA’s official YouTube channel. In the semi-professional category, the featherweight, lightweight, and light heavyweight title matches will be held in the 10th to 12th games.

In the lightweight division, champion Kim Hyun-woo (FMG) was injured, and Lee Hyun-woo (Pohang Team Mad) and Sung Chan-mo (Cube MMA) will play a tentative championship match. Lee Hyun-woo is not satisfied with becoming the first KMMA super lightweight champion in May and is aiming for the top of the two weight classes.
The KMMA champion is obligated to defend within two months of reaching the top. If you fail due to injury or other reasons, you will select a provisional champion. If you can’t play on the next schedule, you have to return the title. Instead, when they return afterwards, they give them the right to challenge and give them a chance to regain their throne.
So far, the only KMMA two weight class champions are â–² Lee Young-woong (Kwangjimbon Hall) â–² Kim Min-kyu (Western Team Mad). If Lee Hyun-woo beats Sung Chan-mo, a semi-finalist in the SGAA New Normal Jitsu Tournament who is not wearing the uniform, he will be close to achieving his achievement.
In the KMMA featherweight division, Cheon Ha-yoon (Team Atua Jeon Wook-jin Multi-Jim) came down on her own from the top, and the regular championship match between Kim Wan-joon (Jeonju Team Mad) and Kim Ji-kyung (AOM) took place. It is an opportunity for Kim Wan-joon to make up for his regret that he received a submission from Cheon Ha-yoon after he entered the title defense as the champion in July.
Kim Ji-kyung made her professional debut in Japan’s Gladiator 32 in September, beating “Pharmacist Fighter” Amano Takenori in the first round of TKO. Amano is a student of Karate legend Masanori Tonooka, who won six Japanese championships.
Tonoka also faced Choo Sung-hoon (Japanese name Yoshihiro Akiyama), an Asian Games judo gold medalist and recently a broadcaster, in 2008 in mixed martial arts. Kim Ji-kyung overpowered Amano Takenori, who received attention, and increased her value in the Japanese market from her first professional match.
The KMMA light heavyweight title match is the ‘Black Combat Derby’. Champion “Taesan Dad” Cho Jung-hoon (Team Geum-cheon) is 16th in the weight class of Black Combat, and challenger “Black Shark” Grozny (Pohang Team Mad) is 25th in the light class of Black Combat.
If Cho Jung-hoon won the championship match in August, Shaq Grozny earlier won the decision against Cho Jung-hoon in May. The rematch will determine who is the real KMMA light heavyweight number one.
KMMA is a group created by UFC commentator Kim Dae-hwan and former UFC, Road FC, and Spider Jiu-Jitsu commentator Jung Yong-joon. It has been held every month since October 2022 to provide Korean amateur players with experience as much as overseas.
Already, KMMA players have entered all major organizations in Korea, including Black Kombat, Road FC, and ZFN. From 2025, Japanese competitions such as Gladiator, Wardock, and ACF are also being held to produce results.
KMMA Fighter Agency is helping these domestic and foreign professional organizations advance. Thanks to the support of Representative Popeye, the main sponsor, he does not ask the player for agent costs.
When entering a large Japanese company that asks agents to act as various agents, such as RIZIN or K-1, 10% of the charging fees and bonuses are donated to foster KMMA’s backwardness.
KMMA is provided with the support of the main sponsor Popeye and the main sponsor, OPMT, Manjane, Mountain Miseong Pork Soup, FILA Dongseongro Branch, Hands Coffee Daegu Downtown Branch, Dongseongro Cartoon Cafe Golbang, Kingdom Jiu-Ji-Ji-Ji, head of the Dojang Insurance Team, Vitalmu Love Jiu-Ji-Bok, Menpower Urology Department, Advide, Final Flash, Chador, Live On Media, Circle Cookie, Ilmere Dam, Advide, Wedding Studio Semien Daegu Branch.
