On July 4, 2026, American Kombat Alliance will make company history with one of the most meaningful events ever produced by the organization.
As America celebrates its 250th Anniversary, AKA 55: Flags, Fights & Freedom will bring a world-class mixed martial arts event directly to the brave men and women serving at Barksdale Air Force Base.
This special event is not open to the public. Instead, American Kombat Alliance is dedicating the evening exclusively to active-duty military personnel, their families, and authorized Department of Defense cardholders as a way of giving back to those who sacrifice so much in service to our nation.
For years, American Kombat Alliance has proudly showcased some of the best fighters in the South. On Independence Day 2026, the organization will use that platform to honor the people who protect the freedoms Americans celebrate every day.
The event will feature championship-caliber competition, nationally ranked athletes, and the world-class production fans have come to expect from the Gold Standard for Combat Sports in the South.
Headlining the evening will be a championship showdown as top competitors step into the cage in front of thousands of military personnel and their families. Every fight on the card represents the same spirit of discipline, determination, and sacrifice that defines both combat sports and military service.
While attendance is reserved exclusively for military personnel and their families, fans around the world will still be able to experience the action. American Kombat Alliance has received approval to stream the event live and free on the AKA YouTube Channel, allowing supporters everywhere to be part of this historic celebration.
Flags, Fights & Freedom is more than a fight card.
It is a thank you.
A thank you to the men and women who wear the uniform, defend our nation, and stand ready to answer the call whenever duty requires.
On July 4, 2026, AKA proudly honors America’s heroes.
God Bless Our Troops.
God Bless America.
ITS GO TIME.
