ABOUT WMO
The "World Mixed Martial Arts Organization" as a short form "World MMA Organization" or "WMO", is a non-profit-oriented association with seat in Switzerland. The association pursues exclusively and directly charitable purposes and has the goal to be the independent entity to sanction MMA with main focus on the professional area.
It is important to make MMA a socially accepted martial art, where the focus is on the sporting aspect and less on a "freak show". The puzzle of 1000 different champions from various promotions is an irritating fact for the MMA fans and for the top athletes. As in boxing and other martial arts, it takes a real champion per weight class.
For such a complex and fast-growing martial arts with more and more complete fighters it needs a high quality all around. From the martial arts court, to the ring doctors and cutmen, where the theoretical education and the practical experience are deciding factors. Also setting up professional guidelines for fighters and promoters is an important component. Therefore, we understand ourselves less as competition for other MMA associations, but as specialized officials and consultants mainly focused on the professional sector.
The president is strongly committed to achieve the set goals:
Steven Jencic
