The safety of our athletes comes first.

Superior Challenge is sanctioned by SMMAF (Swedish MMA Federation). All events are supervised by a Supervisor from SMMAF and in some cases also by the County Administrative Board's Martial Arts Delegation. We follow SMMAF’s rules for MMA, which have been developed in collaboration with, and approved by the County Administrative Board's Martial Arts Delegation. The martial arts delegation has attended several events and Superior Challenge has been mentioned as role model for Swedish martial arts, already after the first event due to our rigorous medical safety.

We use two doctors with many years of experience in the profession and in martial arts. There is always at least one doctor present ringside during a bout. We also have at least one Cutman present during a bout who can assist the doctors with minor injuries. Our medical awareness was one of three contributing factors to SMMAF’s current permanent authority to sanction MMA bouts in Sweden. Our medical team ensure the safety of both athletes and spectators.

The athletes undergo their first and most thorough medical examination the day before fight. The second examination takes place on the day of the fight to ensure one last time that the participants are in good physical and mental shape. During the bout, the event doctors are active and examines any injuries together with the Cutman. The doctors can stop a bout at any time if they consider it reasonable. The athlete's coaches and seconds are also entitled to stop a bout at any time.

After the bouts, our doctors follow up any injuries and carry out thorough examinations and further necessary measure if needed. All follow-ups and the medical data such as information about injuries and account of measure, etc. are implemented into a database, and reported to SMMAF and the Swedish Budo and Martial Arts Confederation. The health of the participants is our top priority and therefore we are very keen to accommodate this by having them under constant health surveillance.

Our experienced referees control the fight inside the cage during bouts and are always ready to stop a fight if needed. Also, three judges are always present ringside during a match. Supervisors from SMMAF and in some cases, controllers from the County Administrative Board's Martial Arts Delegation, observe all bouts from ringside.

Each event also has permission from the Police department and the Fire Protection Authority. The Police department appoints number of licensed security guards that must be available during each event. These security guards have another fifty officials, security personal and arena staff who are all involved in the security of the events. The safety of the audience and participants is ensured by our licensed security guards, officials, and the medical team. The County Administrative Board's Martial Arts Delegation, supervisors from SMMAF, the Police department and the Fire Protection Agency have all attended our previous events and have had no remarks.
