Abraham, or 'A.B.' as he's known to friends, is an exciting prospect already showing his potential to become an absolute wrecking ball to Heavyweight MMA divisions everywhere. Having gotten off to a fantastic five fight unbeaten streak, 1 as a pro and 4 as an amateur, and on the way he secured the British Fighting Championships Amateur Heavyweight Title, he already has his sights set on bigger and better things in the professional divisions. A.B. has now been training full-time for 3 years at Manchester Top Team where he offers PT sessions and is part of their fantastic Mentors Scheme, whereby key team members encourage further education and assist teenagers in gaining qualifications.  As a fighter he is versatile and strong but also very agile and explosive when it's called for, he has a big personality and is extremely confident in his abilities. In fact when we first spoke to him he told us "I am going to take over!", well we are believers, and you should be too!

Aaron has recently taken a little time away from competing to focus on his first child, and becoming Head Coach of his own MMA gym in a small local community in Harwood (Bolton); Prospect MMA. With the gym already thriving in the initial months of opening, and having the whole community behind him Aaron is now ready to progress with a new chapter.  He's a dangerous all-rounder who's been training in combat sports for around 14 years competing initially in MMA, but a minor back injury drove a switch to boxing from 2015 to 2018 in which he had 15 amateur fights and currently holds a fantastic  record of 13-2, and he's achieved a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. In his next run he returns to compete in both BJJ events, under Stealth BJJ, and in MMA promotions, under Gavin Boardman at Manchester Predators, and we're extremely excited to see what the future holds for this man.

I first came across Coner at FCC 3 back in 2012, it was only his second amateur bout and at just 17 he dominated his older, more experienced opponent with a TKO victory in around 60 seconds. Since then he has remained extremely active, his gritty and 'explosive' fighting style earned him his nickname and his MMA career thus far has taken him around the world. It would be impossible to list everything this talented competitor has achieved but we'll give a good overview; He started training at the age of 11 in Shotokan Karate of which he has achieved his 2nd Dan black belt, he has also earned another black belt in Kickboxing and is currently a purple belt in BJJ. He has held 3 amateur MMA flyweight titles, he is a European BJJ gold medalist and a silver medalist in ADCC England (2016). Coner is definitely battle tested, and known for not just his skill but his undeniable power and toughness for a flyweight. We can't wait to see even more of the "Hand Grenade" on Cage Warriors on UFC Fight Pass as he has a number of fights remaining on his contract.

He coaches a number of classes and is a four-time IBJJF Champion with a an amazing 60 win fight record, of which 80% are submissions.

Hayley reaffirms a traditional saying everyone is familiar with; "good things come in small packages". She is a professional atomweight MMA fighter and grappler with a so far unblemished professional record. Having trained in combat sports for around 7 years it's not surprising her skills are ever-improving, and she's been giving back to the sports she loves by coaching women's self defense classes, MMA beginners and kids BJJ for the last 5 years.

Jack Cartwright is an outstanding talent, the kind of talent that doesn't come around often. Having spent many years coaching now, he actually started his combat sports journey with Muay Thai at the age of just 5 years old, then adding wrestling at aged 8 and boxing at aged 14 to his training regimes his natural ascent to MMA was inevitable. Throughout that time period, he competed at an international level for Great Britain in wrestling for 6 years. Plus during the latter years of competing at a high level in wrestling he was also competing in boxing winning a number of regional titles too. 

I have had the privilege of watching Jack grow throughout his career from first seeing him compete on FCC many years ago as an amateur, he has a very intense aura around him at fight time, and being around him makes it almost impossible to doubt him, then his performances then simply back up that way of thinking. Jack achieved huge success back in 2019 when he was drafted for a one night, four-man tournament on Cage Warriors, where the winner walked with their coveted world title, despite being the underdog in everyone's eyes (apart from those that knew him), he dispatched both of his opponents by KO within the first round and went on to successfully defend that title four times, he remains unbeaten. We can't wait to see where his career takes him.

As a head coach, personal trainer and professional fighter he pretty much lives at his own gym, Bury MMA.

Jonno has held a number off amateur and professional titles across a number of promotions, and actually made MMA history back in September 2017 whilst fighting on well established show UKMMA Full Contact Contender (FCC-19). He became the FIRST EVER fighter to finish an opponent using the "Boston Crab", with multiple UK and international media outlets picking up the footage and MMA fans worldwide sharing the videos, he has racked up millions of views, he has even been discussed on the world famous Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Levi is an exciting and fearless athlete whose record upon first glance does not even come close to representing her level of skill or potential.

Mat for us is the epitome of grit, determination and toughness, as despite having an up and down early career taking a few tough losses but still managing to become a two-time Gladiator Promotions Champion, his drive and ability to grind down his opponents regardless of the outcome earned him his chance to perform in Europe's largest MMA promotion; Cage Warriors. In which, after a 4 fight win streak overseen by Next Generation Liverpool's Paul Rimmer and team, he overcame some of the best talent they have to offer to hold the Middleweight World Championship Title but unfortunately he recently lost the title in a grueling fight that seen him rise up in the 5th and final round to almost get the finish, but ultimately lost on points. Mat makes up one half of the "Smash Bros" with his twin sibling Dan, a top ranked Thai boxer who runs The Forge Fight Academy out of Warrington alongside him. As a former Cage Warriors World Champion, he no doubt has the UFC in his sights and we expect to see much more of "The Beast" in the future.

Since turning professional he has kept very active and literally ran through his opposition with nobody getting out of the first round with him thus far.

Fighting out of Team Underground in London, and appropriately named "Juggernaut" due to his overwhelmingly aggressive fighting style and ability to run through almost anyone put in front of him, Thomas is set to take the MMA world by storm. As a deaf fighter, he is on a mission to prove disabilities should not affect a persons desire to be successful, not just in combat sports, but in life. This inspiring fighter gave up a well paid job as an electrician to follow his dreams and assert his dominance on the southern UKMMA scene, recently picking up not one, but two coveted Golden Ticket Fight Promotions titles along the way. Thomas has always been tough and destined to become a fighter, in his younger days the kids would mistake his disability for vulnerability so he regularly had to deal with bullies, he then learnt to vent by playing rugby from the age of 12 to the age of 18, when he redirected his focus towards MMA and found his calling.  He is now set to take on all comers for his title and insists it's only a matter of time before he reaches the UFC, with everything he has achieved so far who could doubt him?!
