The organisation
Clash of Nations
Clash of Nations is an MMA organisation that pits Belgium's national team against another nation at each edition. The first, Belgium vs Italy, took place on Saturday 26 September 2026 at the Dôme de Charleroi.
The principle is simple: nine main-card fights, nine duels between a Belgian and an Italian fighter. Every win scores a point for that nation. The nation with the most wins takes the Clash. Five preliminary bouts complete the night, for fourteen fights in total.
The event is organised by Clash of Nations. Bouts are contested under amateur MMA rules, with strict regulations and full medical supervision.
Edition 1 ended with a 6–3 Belgian win over the nine main card fights, in front of the Dôme de Charleroi crowd and broadcast on RTL.
Clash of Nations also runs an online Fan Zone: fight card and results for each edition, community predictions and the Fight of the Night vote.
