English term or phrase: Contender
"He wanted to find out about the Dubai fighting scene, so he stopped at the Contender mixed martial arts gym."

Apparemment, on ne traduit pas "mixed martial arts". Le Contender MMA est un club d'arts martiaux à Dubaï. Est-ce qu'on traduit "Contender" ici ? Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire ?
Merci !

agree  GILLES MEUNIER: challenger, nom de la salle. Dans les sports de combat, on parle de challenger et non d'aspirant...

neutral  Johanne Bouthillier: bizarre Gilles, cette réponse ne mentionne le mot aspirant; et encore des points de suspension, décidément, c'est une manie
