# Dynamite Fighting Show

The Dynamite Fighting Show (DFS) is a Romanian kickboxing, Muay Thai, mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, kyokushin and taekwondo promotion company based in Bucharest, Romania, which is owned by veteran heavyweight star Cătălin Moroșanu. It is the most popular combat sports and kickboxing promotion company in Romania. Former head of media and marketing for SUPERKOMBAT Alin Huiu has been managing director since its inception.
It promoted the first sanctioned professional event in the Romanian capital on July 5, 2018, when DFS promoted the "super fight" between Moroșanu and Freddy Kemayo.
In Romania, it can be seen on Pro TV and Pro X. On 5 March 2020 DFS started airing live events on Sport Extra with the debut event on Sport Extra being Dynamite Fighting Show 7.

In May 2022, DFS signed a distribution agreement with five American networks. The partnership through United Fight Alliance will have 120 broadcasts on NBC Sports, AT&T, Stadium, NSN and Ocean 7 WXVO in the United States.

## 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.

### Ratings

Also enjoying the popularity of Cătălin Moroșanu, after the dissolution of the SUPERKOMBAT it became the most popular combat sports promotion in the country.
In 2018, after Pro TV and its subsidiary Pro X ended the partnership with SUPERKOMBAT, together with the Dynamite Fighting Show they announced a multi-year broadcast deal.
The promotion's first broadcast television event was DFS 1: Moroșanu vs. Kemayo. In the main event, Cătălin Moroșanu and Freddy Kemayo met for the third time in the kickboxing ring. Moroșanu dominated the bout, leading to a unanimous decision victory.
The broadcast scored a 7.3 rating and 30 share, making it the most watched combat sports event in the past 7 years. The main event peaked with a share of 40.2 in the 18-49 demographic.
