Inaugural RFC champions to be crowned December 4 from the Arena Hall in Amman, Jordan
Jordan: Royal Fighting Championship will end its debut year in a massive way on December 4 at the Arena Hall in Amman, Jordan, by crowning its first ever champions at RFC 004.
Founded by Ali Al-Qaisi, Jordan’s first UFC fighter, Royal Fighting Championship (RFC) was established with a bold vision to elevate mixed martial arts in Jordan and across the region. Built on passion, determination, and a commitment to developing local talent, RFC provides a professional platform for rising fighters to showcase their skills, compete internationally, and inspire the next generation of MMA athletes.
In the main event, hometown hero Nart Abida (5-2), pictured below, will face Tunisia’s Mohamed Sidaoui (2-1) for the inaugural RFC lightweight title.
With two wins already in the RFC cage in 2026, Abida will aim to cap off an incredible year with a career defining win in the main event. Hailing from Amman, the 32-year-old has the opportunity to become the first ever RFC lightweight champion and keep the title in Amman.
Sidaoui is no stranger to the RFC arena himself. Also, with back-to-back wins in 2026, the PE teacher and fighter will be full of confidence coming into this bout.
The undefeated Saher Qasmieh (4-0) will also plan to keep RFC gold in Jordan as he takes on Algeria’s Abdellah Belkacemi (3-1) for the inaugural RFC flyweight championship in the co-main event.
Qasmieh has made a huge impact since making his professional debut last year. The Amman native has secured three first round finishes in his four pro fights, including an incredible 8 second KO win over Mohamed Elarby at RFC 003 in September. With a win in the PFL earlier this year too, the 24-year-old is one of the most exciting prospects in the world.
Hoping to spoil the party though will be Abdellah Belkacemi. A former standout goalkeeper, the 29-year-old has since turned his attention to MMA and now finds himself with a chance to make history as the first ever champion in RFC history and wants to bring the title back to his native Algiers.
“I am really excited to crown our very first champions,” said Ali Al-Qaisi, RFC founder. “This is the reason I founded the Royal Fighting Championship – to give our regional fighters a professional stage and a path to be seen globally. RFC 004 is the culmination of a lot of work from our team and I could not be prouder of what we accomplished in 2026. Wishing all of our amazing athletes nothing but the best on December 4.”
