Today Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Tripura is proud to say we have achieved that many medals because we and our fighters have really worked hard. Our TRISMMAA President, General Secretary and the whole members have expressed their heartfelt congratulations to fighters. We assure MMA Tripura will do much better in the days to come. We are sad we have no proper place to practice unlike other games, if we are to have the facilities and place to practice MMA Tripura can produce more champions for our state. For this we will approach the government for their help and support, we hope they will genuinely accept and understand our needs. We thank all the media personnel’s who helped us in promoting through their publications.
