My name is Jakub Stasiak, and in February 2026, I have the honor of representing my team and my country at the IMMAF European Championships in Serbia, one of the biggest amateur MMA stages in the world.

For me, this opportunity is more than just a competition.

It’s the result of years of hard work, sacrifice, and belief… and the beginning of a dream I’ve been chasing since I first stepped onto the mats.

I didn’t start MMA with thoughts of medals or championships. I started because I needed something to dedicate myself to—something that would push me, shape me, and give me a purpose. Over the years, MMA has done exactly that. It has taught me discipline, confidence, resilience, and how to keep showing up, even on the hard days.

I’ve put in thousands of hours training early mornings, late nights, tough sessions, cuts, bruises, setbacks… and moments that reminded me exactly why I love this sport. Every bit of progress I’ve made has come from giving everything I can to become the best version of myself.

Being selected for the IMMAF Europeans means the world to me.

It’s my chance to test myself against some of the best amateur fighters in Europe and to show what I’m capable of. It’s a huge step toward the future I’m working so hard for and I want to grab this opportunity with both hands.

But like most amateur athletes, I have to cover the costs myself.

Things like flights, accommodation, training gear, equipment, supplements, and everything I need to prepare properly all add up quickly. I’m doing everything I can to fund this, but I can’t manage it alone.

That’s why I’m asking for support.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, will directly help me get to Serbia and compete at my best. It will help me focus fully on training and give me the chance to experience something that could change the direction of my career.

I will be vlogging the journey the training, the travel, the fights as best i can so everyone who supports me can be a part of it. I want to share this experience with the people who believe in me and help me get there.

This opportunity means everything to me.

It’s not just about fighting it’s about proving to myself what I can achieve when I give 100%, and showing others what’s possible when you chase your dreams with everything you’ve got.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for considering helping me reach the IMMAF European Championships.

Your support truly means more than I can put into words.

I’m ready to give everything I have and I’d be grateful to have you with me on this journey.
