The second ANZA mixed martial arts pro-fight is set for June 6th at Broadwalk Mall,Nairobi.
The organizers ANZA MMA revealed a rich and exciting line up of fighters with Kenya’s rising fighter Ali Abad headlining the main card.
Ali Abad nicknamed ‘Ninja Turtle’ a submission specialist who stunned the crowd at the inaugural ANZA MMA pro event last December faces South Sudanese opponent Peter Bushak in a featherweight showdown.
The meeting of the two will be a contest between knockout power and grappling excellence.

Boton enters the bout following an impressive victory over Uganda’s Josiah Lumunya at Impact Championship, representing one of Central Africa’s strongest MMA camps.
Crowd favorite Kevin Odongo, famously known as “The King of TKO,” will also return to action after his dominant stoppage victory in December.
Odongo will face Congolese heavyweight Romain Kasase in what promises to be a thrilling heavyweight battle.
The main card is completed by a high-level featherweight clash between Tanzania’s Rashid Mlegelo of Dar MMA and Zambia’s exciting striker Chilufya.
