Mixed Martial A'rr is the latest mixed martial arts (MMA) project from Malaysian telecommunications company Tune Talk and will see fighters competing on a cruise ship as it takes them from Penang to Krabi to Phuket.

A few centuries ago, the waters on the west coast of Thailand and Malaysia were infested with pirates and it's a theme that MMA A'rr will be revisiting with a pirate-themed cruise which features 10 fights on a card headlined by a middleweight contest between ONE Championship veteran Nik Harris and local legend Matt Pellino.

The cruise comes from the same people who brought you the Malaysian Invasion MMA (MIMMA) amateur tournament which is now in its third season and will take place upon the luxurious Superstar Libra which has 718 cabins as well as bars, restaurants, and a disco.
