The world’s oldest nine-limb striking art finally has a global stage. Lethwei Fighting Championship brings Myanmar’s thousand-year-old bare-knuckle discipline to the world — nine limbs, no gloves, and a warrior’s code unbroken for a thousand years.
ElbowsKneesShinsHeadbuttsFistsElbowsKneesShinsHeadbuttsWhere boxing has two weapons, kickboxing four and Muay Thai has eight, Lethwei has nine — the only major combat style that permits the headbutt. It is the rawest, most demanding form of stand-up combat on earth.
Lethwei has been fought for over a thousand years — yet it remains the only major combat sport without a professional global stage.
Lethwei Fighting Championship is changing that: we are building an international promotion for the art of nine limbs, created in partnership with the Myanmar Lethwei Federation.
October, 2026 · Yangon, Myanmar.
The first chapter of a new era for Lethwei. Full fight card, date and location to be announced soon.
The LFC Title is the truest test in all of combat sports. Whoever earns one of these isn’t just a champion; they’re the toughest, most dangerous fighter on the planet.
The national sport of Myanmar, Lethwei dates back over a thousand years. It is bare-knuckle, full-contact, and fought with nine limbs — fists, elbows, knees, shins and the head. No gloves. No padding. Just hand wraps, courage, and tradition.
Every bout opens with the Lekkha Moun, the warrior’s challenge, and can be fought under traditional rules that reward the finish above all else. It is raw, honourable, and unlike anything else in combat sports.
