History

Following the dissolution of the largest continental and popular Superkombat Fighting Championship, several new promotions started to dominate the scene in Romania. The professional kickboxing industry lacked a viable competitor to Colosseum Tournament which Cătălin Moroșanu attempted to fill with the formation of Dynamite Fighting Show.
