[18 November 2018. Manama] Here are the medallists and results from the finals of the 2018 IMMAF-WMMAA Unified World Championships which concluded yesterday at the Khalifa Sports City Arena in Manama Bahrain.

Taking place as part of BRAVE International Combat Week, the 5-day, nation vs nation, amateur MMA tournament featured 362 competitors from more than 50 nations across 16 weight divisions. The Junior tournament (for 18 to 20-year olds) ran  concurrently with the Senior Championships (for 18s+) and both events took place under Unified Amateur MMA Rules.

All finals matches were live streamed at IMMAF.TV. Videos on demand will be available of all championships matches within the next 7 days, with the delay caused by technical issues due to rare storms and flooding in Manama last week.

The Championships was hosted by the Bahrain MMA Federation and endorsed by the Bahrain Olympic Committee and H.H. Sheikh Khalid bin Hamad al Khalifa.
