Combat U

A Groundbreaking Partnership for Student Success

Sacramento State continues to redefine what's possible in higher education through an innovative partnership with UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber. Together, we've created Combat U - the world's first university program offering students the chance to excel in both combat sports and academics. This unique program brings together world-champion athletes and experienced MMA professionals to teach wrestling, muay thai, jiu jitsu, and boxing at one of the nation's top training facilities.

Our students bring their diverse talents and perspectives to this program, showing what makes Sac State special. Take Aranjot Kaur, who chose Sac State because it matched her drive to succeed both in education and combat sports. As an international student and accomplished athlete, she represents the spirit of determination that makes our community strong.

Your gift to Combat U creates new paths for student success. You help provide:

  • Training with champion athletes
  • Access to top-quality facilities
  • Scholarship opportunities
  • A chance for students to pursue their passion while earning their degree

Will you join us in making history? Your support of Combat U opens doors for students from around the world who dream of combining their love of combat sports with their educational goals. Every gift helps build this first-of-its-kind program and creates opportunities for students to succeed both in and out of the ring. 

Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter at Sacramento State.
