Samba Sima: a KO, a rise, and a 100% PXP vibe

When Samba Sima steps into the cage, it’s to unleash lightning. At Hexagone MMA 27, he sent a clear message to the whole scene: he’s ready for the highest level. Express KO, assertive style, and a strong presence alongside Project X Paris… Here’s a recap of a weekend where sport and streetwear joined forces.

A KO that shakes the cage

Samba Sima didn’t just win this weekend at Hexagone MMA 27, he made an impression. Facing Kleider Sandoval, the Franco-Malian landed a brutal first-round KO, sending the crowd at Zénith de Lille into a frenzy. In just a few seconds, he proved once again he’s part of the rising generation of French MMA.

A talent revealed by the local scene

Sima is no marketing product from nowhere. He built himself up through the French scene, notably thanks to AEC (All Élite Combat), this hexagonal league where he delivered performance after performance. Project X Paris is not just a spectator of this rise: major partner of AEC, we’ve followed Samba since his beginnings. His trajectory is also that of a street soldier climbing the ranks with style and sweat.

Always present at PXP events

Samba Sima is more than a fighter; he’s a streetwear ambassador. Present at our Reveal Party in 2024, he never misses our major events. He was also there at the pop-up store for the Drop 2 of our collab with Kalash, proudly showing his support for the brand.

At every event, he appears alongside Modibo Diakité, another strong face of French MMA, in an increasingly powerful streetwear-sport alliance. Together, they embody this fusion between performance and style, between fight and culture.

RMC Sport Combat: full Kalash x PXP debrief

Invited on RMC Sport Combat to discuss his fight, Samba didn’t just talk technique. He also imposed the look: overshirt and floral pants from the Kalash x PXP collection, all in smoky grey mode. Proof that style, even post-fight, remains a serious matter.
