UFC GYM Qatar and Al-Mana Holdings, an extension of UFC, have announced the official opening of their first branch in Qatar. Two more are expected to open by the end of this year. UFC Gym Qatar will also host international UFC fighters during its launch period.
Abdulrahman Hamad Al Mana, Deputy CEO of Al Mana Holding, said the opening of the highly anticipated first UFC gym in Qatar has become a central focus for Al Mana Holding. "Our research shows there is an appetite for an all-inclusive facility that offers an MMA-inspired training space and traditional fitness under one roof," he explained. "We are very much looking forward to contributing to the growth of Qatar's vibrant fitness community by continuously expanding our sports offering," he added.
The opening is part of expansion plans to promote Al Mana Holding's unique 'train different' philosophy, with three locations set to open. The state-of-the-art 10,000 square meter facility is home to world-class certified and experienced trainers with state-of-the-art training techniques and state-of-the-art equipment.
