WETTA
History was rewritten when WETTA became the first fighter ever to step into the cage and represent the colors of Burkina Faso.
Pioneering Vision
Beyond the cage, WETTA's leadership has been the driving force behind the national integration into global bodies like GAMMA.
National Identity
Prior to WETTA, fighters of Burkinabè descent often competed under other flags. He chose the path of the homeland.
Cheick Kongo
Before the flag was carried in the cage, the world felt the power of our bloodline through Cheick Kongo. A titan of the Heavyweight division who proved that the Burkinabè spirit could dominate the world's most elite stages.
He showed us it was possible. He was the proof that our lineage belongs at the very top of the food chain.
