On May 16, 2025, FightMatrix and Real Fight Promotion (RFP) officially began a partnership built on a shared commitment to the growth and promotion of mixed martial arts.
Interestingly, both FightMatrix and Real Fight Promotion were founded in 2007. Over nearly two decades, each organization has established a strong reputation within its field. FightMatrix has become one of the sport’s most respected independent rankings and analytical platforms, while RFP has grown into one of Ukraine’s longest-running and most active MMA promotions, organizing more than 100 events.
Through this partnership, FightMatrix has provided rankings coverage, analytical support, and international exposure for RFP events. The collaboration has helped increase the visibility of Ukrainian MMA and strengthen its connection with the global MMA community. The partnership is further strengthened by Vitaliy Vovk, Founder and President of RFP, who serves as an Analyst & Contributor for FightMatrix.
Together, FightMatrix and RFP continue to promote mixed martial arts, increase its visibility among fans and athletes, and support the development of the global MMA community. By combining event promotion, rankings, analysis, and media coverage, both organizations remain committed to helping the sport grow at both regional and international levels.
