What we are building
Not an event. A series.
International leagues come to China for a guest appearance and leave again. No international combat sports brand holds a permanent home and a recurring date — and Chongqing, with 34.1 million registered residents the largest city in the world, has never hosted an international combat sports event at all.
Dragon Fight Night is the build-up of a recurring combat sports series between Europe and China. The event in January 2027 is the proof, not the product.
The undiscovered champion
34.1 million residents.
Zero international MMA events.
The largest city in the world — and the stage is open.
One place
Chongqing is not a stop on a tour. It is where the series lives, with a recurring date the city can plan around.
Two continents
International fighters competing in China, Chinese fighters competing in Europe. That exchange is the product — and nobody else offers it.
Eight events a year
The build-up runs through 2027. From 2028 the target rhythm is two events per quarter, alternating between Chongqing and Europe.
The road map
Beyond the first night
From the third quarter of 2027 the series runs on a quarterly rhythm — one event per continent, per quarter. Dates become a calendar, and the calendar becomes the brand.
in 2027
from 2028
alternating
Everything from the second event onward is planning. To date no event has taken place, and we say so ourselves.

The arena
Cage in the centre of the hall
The Central Hall is not a stadium with fixed seating. The room is empty, and the layout is built for the night — which is what makes a four-sided setup possible in the first place.
approx. 12,000
Seats in the event layout. The final number is set by the authorities.
Four-sided setup
Cage in the centre of the hall, audience on all four sides. No dead angles, no row facing a wall, camera positions all the way around.
The structure
Two companies, one brand
Whoever holds the international roster rarely holds access to the Chinese authorities. Whoever holds that access rarely holds a roster. We built the company around that gap rather than around a single event.
Europe
Meridian Promotions FlexKapG
- International roster and matchmaking
- Athlete contracts and back-up cover
- Structure, finance and contracts
China
Chongqing DAUSUM Combat MMA Co., Ltd.

The Dragon Fight Night brand is held jointly by both companies and filed for registration in the EU and in China.
Who builds the night
The event organiser
Chongqing Lion Century delivers the event on the ground. They earn a share of ticket sales rather than a flat fee — which makes them a co-entrepreneur, not a supplier.
