Babilon MMA is a Polish mixed martial arts, K-1, and Boxing promotion based in Poland.
History Tomasz Babiloński, a known boxing promoter in Poland, alongside Przemysław Krok founded Babilon MMA in 2017. The first event took place on August 18, 2017, in Międzyzdroje, and was dubbed: Babilon MMA 1: Seaside Fight.
On December 15, 2018, the first fight for a championship belt took place between Paweł Pawlak and Daniel Skibiński for the vacant Welterweight championship (up to 77 kg). Skibiński won the fight by Unanimous Decision.
Some of their main sponsors include, Grupa Azoty, Tauron Polska Energia, Polska Grupa Energetyczna (PGE), KGHM Polska Miedź, and Polsat, the last of which broadcast their events.
In September 2019, Tomasz Babiloński announced cooperation with Fight Exclusive Night, which took place on October 26 at Babilon MMA 10: Underground Circle in the Wieliczka Salt Mine, where in the main fight Babilon MMA Featherweight champion Daniel Rutkowski faced FEN Featherweight champion Adrian Zieliński for both organizations belts. Rutkowski won the fight by Unanimous Decision, winning both the Babilon and FEN Featherweight championships in the process. Over a year later on November 28, 2020, the two rematched, this time under the FEN banner at FEN 31: Lotos Fight Night Łódź. The bout was initially supposed to be for both championships once again, but Zieliński weighed in 1.4 kg over the weight limit, which led to the bout proceeding as a non-title fight. Rutkowski won the rematch by yet another Unanimous Decision.
On September 18, 2022, Babilon MMA began cooperation with local federation Carpathian Warriors, which is based in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. On October 1 of the same year, Carpathian Warriors put on an event dubbed: Carpathian Warriors 10: Road to Babilon, on which took place 14 fights. The best winners from the event were expected to be signed to Babilon MMA and compete on a future event. Of all the winners, only one fighter (Patryk Ożóg) earned a contract.
Babilon Boxing With co-founder Tomasz Babiloński's background as a boxing promoter, the federation put together the first Babilon Boxing event, which to place at the same time as Babilon MMA 8: Babilon Fight Night 1 on May 31, 2019. In the main event, Michał Cieślak faced Olanrewaju Durodola for the vacant Republic of Poland International Cruiserweight championship. Cieślak won the fight by a second-round TKO.
