“No Afghan fighter will ever feature on an MFN card” Ayesha Shroff

MFN : Statement from Matrix Fight Night Co-owner Ayesha Shroff

MFN : “I would like to sincerely thank the entire Indian MMA community for the incredible show of support for MFN. We had one of the greatest shows so far and the disturbing incident that took place at the end cannot and should not take away from the fantastic show our fighters put on. To all our winners my sincere congratulations and especially to those fighters who made spectacular debuts.”

To our MFN veterans, you guys showed why you are MMA stars in our country! I would like to thank all the AIMMAA and GAMMAF officials, judges and referees for your world class handling of the event, as well as for your fearless handling of the mob that broke all boundaries of sportsmanship. To my wonderful MFN team, I have no words to thank you. 

I take this opportunity to clarify that as per my earlier statement, no Afghan fighter will ever feature on an MFN card again. There is no sport like MMA, and any kind of disrespect and hooliganism will not be tolerated by us. I have always said that MFN is a family and as such we will take care of Srikant Sekhar and look forward to his speedy recovery and return to the cage. We will be back with MFN 10! God bless you all. Jai Hind!”
