Dive into an adrenaline rush as you watch the best mixed martial arts fights from the promotional company BFL PRO! On May 9 at Stereo Plaza, professionals and semi-professionals of MMA will meet to test their strength and gift fans of uncompromising battles a sea of sharp sensations.
Crazy MMA Night
Anyone who has ever been a spectator at mixed martial arts fights will definitely want to return again. Because it is an intense sports spectacle where adrenaline almost overflows into the hall. Professional fighters exchange dangerous blows vigorously, using their own fighting style. And sometimes victory comes from a single accurate hook or technique.
In the main fight of this May evening in the heavyweight division (up to 93 kg) will meet Ukrainian Andriy Barkar --3) and Moroccan Salim El Ousaidi (11-4). For the Ukrainian, this is already the third consecutive performance within BFL PRO after returning in 2025 — and currently he has a streak of two wins, and all his victories in professional MMA Barkar achieved in the first round.
His opponent, known by the nickname “Bison”, has significantly more experience – 11 wins, of which 9 are early stoppages. El Ousaidi is already familiar with Ukrainian opponents: last year he defeated Bohdan Kotlovyanov by submission in the first round.
The central fight will be a classic confrontation of knockout power and proven experience, where any mistake will be fatal.
Top confrontations in Kyiv
Besides the main fight, there will be several loud confrontations within the card. In particular, Oleksandr Fedonov (11-3) will meet Brazilian Nonato Junior (16-12-1). The Ukrainian enters the octagon after a victory by judges' decision at the previous BFL tournament, while Junior seeks to rehabilitate himself after a loss in his last fight in the BFL league.
Another interesting duel – Ivan Kurelaru (2-0) versus Brazilian Zion Azevedo (5-1). Their previous meeting ended with a hard-fought victory for the Ukrainian, and now the Brazilian will have a chance to take revenge.
That evening, Anna Hyria (1-0), the 2025 world champion among adults in amateur MMA and holder of the title “Athlete of the Year among adults”, will hold her second fight. Her fight will become one of the most anticipated moments of the evening.
The professional MMA evening from BFL PRO – is a full-fledged sports show where every fight is filled with drama, adrenaline, and the desire to win. An evening that will definitely not leave you indifferent!
