The WMC Sri Lanka Champion Night 2022 was a Muay Thai promotion event organized by the Muay Thai Association of Sri Lanka (MTASL). The event comprised of several Muay Thai related activities, namely Wai Khru ceremony* and Muay Boran demonstration, as well as seven Muay Thai fights.

*Wai khru ceremony is a Thai ritual in which students pay respect to teachers in order to express their gratitude and formalize the student–teacher relationship. The ceremony is typically performed before a Muay Thai fight.
