Extreme fighters, the Gulf's strongest men and world-class bodybuilders put on a thrilling show during Bahrain's first-ever 'Raw Power' event at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre in Sanabis.

An action-packed three days included an intense display of brute force bringing 'rage to the cage' on day one with eight mixed martial art (MMA) fights featuring 16 professional fighters from the US and North America.

The following two days highlighted strength and fitness with a 'Men of Steel' event and an international and local bodybuilding championship.

Kuwaiti Saleh Aldoub, vice president of US-based ITC Gulf, is looking forward to bringing more extreme sports to the kingdom. He said: "Three thousand fans in total attended and I have been receiving great feedback."
