\nWorld Grand Prix<\/h2>\n

Coker and Levin shared the details about the new promotion via a
\npress release. The inaugural Ki MMA World Grand Prix will feature
\n32 featherweights divided into four eight-man continental
\ntournaments. Each regional tournament will use a single-elimination
\nformat, with the four continental champions advancing to a
\none-night World Grand Prix Final.<\/p>\n

The final event will feature two semifinals followed by the
\nchampionship bout, so the inaugural Ki MMA champion will need to
\nwin five fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re giving fighters across four continents a clear path to
\nbecoming our first World Grand Prix champion,\u201d Coker said. \u201cWe want
\nto build stars while staying true to the discipline, character and
\nrespect that drew us to martial arts in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Ki MMA will feature \u201cSuper Fights\u201d involving
\nestablished fighters, along with additional bouts across multiple
\nweight classes. All fights will take place inside a ring.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building Ki MMA for the long term, with the resources, team,
\nand discipline to grow responsibly,\u201d Levin added.<\/p>\n
