Lauren

Lauren started weight lifting and running on her own as a teenager, as a way to stay in shape, and unwind. She continued working out by herself well into her 20’s, with no particular goal or direction in mind other than to stay in shape and have some quiet time.

She did, however, always dream of taking up martial arts, and at the age of 26 she took up MMA. She started fighting professionally right away. In the span of four years, She fought 8 times, winning all her fights, including three championship fights. In 2014 She was signed to the UFC, where she still competes today. Her current record is 9-3, with seven of those wins coming via TKO. She is also a UFC bonus winner, receiving Fight of the Night honors at UFC Fight Night 83. 

Lauren holds a purple belt in Brazilian jiu jitsu, and has competed at many state, national, and world tournaments. She won the gold medal at the no-gi world championship in 2014, and the bronze in 2015. I continue to compete as often as I can and am looking forward to more gold medals, more championships, and more progress in my skills.

My personal mantra:
Live as much as I can.

My training style is:
Transformative

My why:
Fighting is my passion, and boxing and kickboxing are obviously a big part of that. Showing other people how to throw punches and kicks, explaining why we throw the combinations we throw, and watching it give them confidence, fitness, and purpose, has brought my own understanding and enjoyment of martial arts to a whole new level.

What gives me my fighting spirit:
I want to be the best martial artist I can be. My life as an athlete is a dream come true for me, it’s part of living my life as much as I can. I don’t want to be ungrateful by wasting a single second of it. I also train hard because I hate to lose and I don’t like falling short of my personal goals.
