A cage on the floor of a second-century monument is the draw of DF Uncaged. The Roman Theatre in Amman seats roughly 6,000, and its stone stands will ring the cage on Friday, Oct. 30. No bout has been fought yet.
The promotion comes from the creators of Desert Force, working through Makana 360 and Jordan Combat Consulting under the oversight of the Jordanian MMA Federation. It aims to give Arab fighters a professional platform and bring international opponents to Jordan. The night will also include artistic performances and cultural exhibitions.
The most notable return is Andrew Sanchez's. The 38-year-old won The Ultimate Fighter 23 by beating Khalil Rountree Jr. in July 2016, and his last fight was an August 2025 PFL loss to Impa Kasanganay. He told Bloody Elbow he had considered himself retired until he met trainer Javier Mendez at UFC 330, where Mendez pitched him the card. "They asked for me, I agreed," he said, adding that he trusts the organizers. He faces Ragozin, a Russian listed at 25-7, the most wins of anyone on the card according to MiddleEasy. Sanchez is listed at 14-9. Ragozin fought for an RCC middleweight title in July.
Above them, former ACA welterweight champion Mukhammad Berkhamov, 17-3, meets American Dante Schiro, 13-6. The local favorite is Lebanon's Mohammad Fakhreddine, who faces Wales' John Martin Fraser at a 92 kg catchweight. Fakhreddine was Brave CF's first simultaneous two-division champion, winning the middleweight belt in September 2020 and the light heavyweight belt in March 2022. He regained the middleweight title in June 2025 with a first-round knockout of Erko Jun.
Watch for how the card delivers on the promotion's pitch of Arab talent against foreign opposition, and for whether Sanchez's comeback holds up against the busiest veteran on the bill.
