In Vilnius, on September 21, one of the most anticipated martial arts events will take place – the MMA Bushido tournament. The prestigious event at TwinsBet Arena will gather the best MMA fighters from Lithuania and abroad into the cage.
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) traces its roots back to ancient Greece, while today the mecca of MMA is undoubtedly the UFC organization in the USA. MMA has become one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, attracting millions of viewers globally. In Lithuania, MMA has always held a special place. The Lithuanian Bushido Federation (LBF) organized the first professional MMA event in 1999, filling every seat in the old Vilnius Concert and Sports Hall.
Throughout its history, the LBF has organized an impressive number of international MMA tournaments, raising many talented fighters who gained global recognition. One of the most prominent is Remigijus Morkevicius, who left an indelible mark on MMA history with his fights and victories. Other notable Lithuanian MMA fighters like Kestutis Smirnovas, Egidijus Valavicius, Marius Zaromskis, Valentinas Golubovskis, Tadasu Cholodinskis, and Sergej Grecicho have significantly contributed to raising Lithuania’s profile on the international stage. Their achievements have inspired a new generation of fighters who now compete in the world’s biggest organizations. Julija Stoliarenko, representing the younger generation, is the first Lithuanian woman to sign a contract with the UFC and achieve significant success in the organization. Ernesta Kareckaite and Zygimantas Ramaska are also making strides in international arenas, promoting Lithuania’s name.
Looking to the past and future, Lithuania can undoubtedly be called an MMA fighter’s mecca, where some of the strongest MMA athletes in the world are born and raised. The Lithuanian Bushido Federation is the only organization in the Baltic region that has brought such global stars to its events, including Buakaw Por Pramuk, Bob Sapp, Garry Goodridge, Fedor Emelianenko, Fredy Kemayo, Mighty Mo, Volk Han, Stefan Leko, Hideo Tokoro, Artur Kyshenko, Sergei Lashchenko, Remy Bonjasky, and others, a feat that has yet to be repeated.
The MMA tradition continues to grow stronger, and the MMA Bushido tournament in Vilnius on September 21 will be a perfect opportunity to witness the strongest MMA fighters in a single event. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to be part of a spectacular event that will once again confirm that Lithuania’s MMA Bushido scene is one of the strongest and most promising in the world.
