Weight class: TBA
Rounds: TBA
Opponent, weight class and round count are confirmed by the promoter. Nothing is announced until it is signed.
Shekib fights under the nickname «Shega», and he is one of the main fighters on this card. He comes out of Harar, the walled city in eastern Ethiopia, and he carries that city into the cage with him — the same streets, the same crowd, the same pressure.
Harar Fight Night is an MMA fight night built around local fighters and a home crowd. For Shega, the main event is a home bout: the walk to the cage is short, and the noise behind him is loud.
The cage goes up in Harar on October 10. One night, one cage, and the loudest crowd in the east.
Chain-link walls, no way out but forward. Every bout on the card is decided inside the same cage, under the same lights, in front of a Harar crowd that does not sit down.
Shekib «Shega» headlines. Four more bouts fill the night before him.
Doors open, lights drop, first bell. October 10 in Harar, Ethiopia.
Canvas, cage, corner stools, and a ring announcer who has to shout over the room. Nothing about the setup is quiet.
Short version: three rounds of five minutes, one round of five for the main event, and the referee is the only person who decides when it is over. Here is what you are watching on October 10 in Harar.
Every bout on the card is 3 rounds of 5 minutes. The main event is 5 rounds of 5 minutes. A 1 minute rest sits between rounds, and fighters start each round standing.
Knockout or technical knockout when a fighter can no longer defend. Submission when they tap or the referee sees they are caught. Otherwise the three judges score it and the decision goes to the fighter who won more rounds.
No eye gouging, no biting, no groin strikes, no strikes to the back of the head or spine, no small-joint manipulation, no grabbing the cage. A foul costs a point when it is serious, and repeated fouls end the fight.
A doctor is ringside for every bout, and the referee can stop a fight at any moment to protect a fighter. Gloves are inspected before the first bell, and a fighter who is hurt is checked before they are allowed to continue.
Fight card, opponents and weights are still being confirmed — anything marked TBA will be locked in before October 10. Check the Fighters page for the names already confirmed, and Tickets to reserve your spot.
