IMMAF World Championship in less than a month

Im actually extremely excited about this, been reading up on it a bit last few days. I couldnt find a list of the teams anywhere tho, you have one? Like rosters etc.
 
thanks TS.
Do anybody know any one taking part?
I am pretty blank when it comes none pro's.

I have been looking for names and nothing yet. they must not have pro fights to be allowed to compete so no known fighters I guess. maybe some people with serious credentials in other combat sports transitioning to MMA.

Is this going to be broadcast somewhere?

no clue either. I hope each and everyone of the fights is put on Youtube. they could also put it on Fight Pass, given the good relationship they have with the UFC.
 
I know the Finnish amateurs that are going to the World Championships.

For women:

-56,7kg: Tina L
 
Think there might be a stream of the event or it will be something you can only see in person? Would be interesting to watch.

He's legit on the ground for sure. He won gold at the European No-Gi Championships at purple belt just last year.
 
will they do red shorts vs blue shorts or every team will have their country colors? country color shorts would look cooler in my opinion. white cage would have a clean and classy feel too.

HA! one guy from my old place is on the team! COOL!
Sadly I dont know him, hes from after I left but still cool :)
 
to be honest, the american heavyweight's amateur record is a bit dissapointing. records don't mean everything, but 6-9 as an amateur is pretty bad for the guy representing US MMA.

She's extremely talented. She's probably going to tear through her division.

Finland has a few very tough female fighters, mainly L

I think I've seen Kankaapaa fight in Invicta but I'm not sure

Maybe its hard to get good fighters?
Do people in US want to fight amateur fights?
I have no clue about the US amateur scene at all but some people go pro with almost no fights. Also I think to recall some thread about its better to be pro in US since its better security for the fighter and medics and so on. Too risky being amateur.
???
As said I have no clue.

I think its easier for western europe to come with good fighters since going pro is not that easy. But its going to be interesting :)

maybe that's the reason. it makes sense.

not a bad thing at all if the finals are full of fighters from a lot of different countries instead of americans and brazilians only

well I could see a shit load if high level BJJ guys and girls one their team.

I don't think US will be one of the top nations in this.

HW champ is a weird one record wise. I guess HW is as thin as in the pros :icon_chee

On paper, damn looks good and pretty experienced guys too.
I should have clicked the link before talking BS I see that now.
I dont pay much attention to amateur records since thats a learning period.
If you are to lose its the right time.

I am actually starting to look forward to this event.
