About

Empire MMA and Fitness is the crown jewel for fight training here in Cedar City, Utah. Founded by Head Coach Steven Eargle, Empire MMA is the best place in town to get fit while learning real-world self-defense skills.

Founded in October 2014 as “Cedar City Jiu Jitsu and MMA,” Empire MMA has gone through a metamorphosis from a small upstairs industrial gym into a full-service fitness location that also includes a cage for fight preparation.

Immediately after opening in October 2014, the gym had its first fight in November 2014, with Julius Descheenie claiming victory under the Empire MMA banner.

Empire MMA has since produced amateur champions across multiple weight classes, including bantamweight, featherweight, welterweight and Super-heavyweight. The team has also produced a professional welterweight.

As the gym outgrew the 400 North location, Eargle made the decision to move to the new location on Industrial Road to provide the gym with a much more spacious environment. With that move in December 2018 came the name change to “Empire MMA and Fitness” as Eargle’s goal is to create a mixed martial arts and fitness Empire here in Southern Utah.
