Fighter Babe Hannah Goldy Makes Her MMA Debut this Saturday

Fighter babe Hannah “The Drill” Goldy makes her MMA debut this Saturday night for World Class Fight League 11 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Tampa, Florida. Hannah currently holds a 4-0 Muay Thai record and fights in the strawweight division. Fighting out of UFC Gym Clearwater we recently caught up with Hannah prior to her big fight this Saturday for the interview below to learn a little more about her.

How did you get involved in MMA and how long have you been training?

-I fell in love with Muay Thai when I lived in New York City and went to a Friday Night Fight, signed up at a gym the next day, and the rest is history ;)

Where are you currently training, and what's a typical training week like for you?

-I have an amazing striking coach, Dom Muay Thai that I work with 4 times a week, consisting of pad work, bag work and hard sparring. I work with Ingrid Medrano out of Top Brother MMA a few times a week wrestling and judo. And Rafael Garcia out of World Class Martial Arts has been helping me out with my ground game and MMA sparring. Last but not least Alex "The Spartan" Nicholson, my amazing boyfriend, helps me put it all together. I try to run at least 5 times a week 4-6 miles with alternating days of sprints.

Tell us about your upcoming fight, who you're fighting and where?

-My MMA Debut is at the DoubleTree Hilton in Tampa on January 24th. I am fighting Amanda Lee out of North Carolina.

What is your best experience as a fighter? What is your worst?

-The best experience I have as a fighter is just the positive feedback that I receive from people. I like to inspire others to try harder and make themselves better.

-I love food so my worst experience is my weight cut, haha. I dream about spaghetti and meatballs every night.

What advice would you give to other women who are reading this interview and want to get started in MMA?

-My advice to women about MMA is whether you want to be a fighter or just learn self defense, DO IT. It has taught me so much about respect and discipline. It also gives you such a sense of confidence. I really think it is so important for women to feel confident that they can protect themselves.

What or who are your inspirations in MMA and life?

-My inspirations in MMA, I obviously love Ronda Rousey because she is BADDD and I love her attitude. Even though I haven’t been training with my wrestling coach Ingrid for long she has really inspired me so much. She's taught me to focus on my fight and just be better than the fighter I was yesterday. Don’t be fooled by her size, chick is for real and I can’t wait for you guys to see more of her!

Lastly before we let you go we would love to hear about your future plans and let you send some shout outs.

Any future plans or dreams?

-I plan to take MMA as far as I can. Right now I’m just trying to take it slow and get in as many fights and as much experience as I can. But remember my name because I will continue to strive for greatness and I am never going to settle for less than everything.

Any shout outs you would like to make?

-Shout outs to UFC gym Clearwater, Pete Guzman and Dom Muay Thai who have helped develop me into the person and athlete that I am today. Ingrid and Rafael you already know, you guys are the best. All my training partners, Sarah Kleckza, Roberto Santiago and Shawn Albaugh thanks for kicking my ass everyday! And my family, I love you guys, stoked my mom and grandparents are going to be at my fight next week, I’ll put a show on you for guys!

Fighter Babe Cheyanne Vlismas Makes her MMA Debut on Saturday

Fighter babe Cheyanne Vlismas is set to make her highly anticipated MMA debut this Saturday for World Class Fight League in Tampa, Florida. Babes of MMA will proudly be sponsoring Cheyanne and we recently caught up with her to get a few thoughts prior to her big debut this Saturday.

How did you get involved in MMA and how long have you been training?

-I started training martial arts at the age of 3. I was training Karate till 7 and Tae Kwon Do from 8-16. I love fighting and sparring and really wanted to pursue my talent. I was getting tired of the TKD and wanted to try mixed martial arts. I found a local school and started training just after turning 15 and have grown to love it. (Cheyanne is a Tae Kwon Do Black Belt and often competes in BJJ and grappling tournaments).

Where are you currently training, and what's a typical training week like for you?

-I train at Gracie Tampa North on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5-9:30, Fridays from 6-8 and Saturdays from 10-12:30. I am at the UFC-gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:15-9:30 and Sundays are optional (privates).

Tell us about your upcoming fight, who you're fighting and where?

-I will be fighting Ingrid Medrano, a veteran Olympic wrestler. She’s 33 with a good background in wrestling and judo. It will be a tough first fight as we are both skilled in different ways. We are the co-main event for WCFL at the down town Tampa Hilton hotel.

Being your debut MMA fight how are you feeling?

-I have met with my opponent already and we had a little altercation. I’m feeling more than ready for war!

What advice would you give to other women who are reading this interview and want to get started in MMA?

-Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. And never let anyone bring you down with it.

What or who are your inspirations in MMA and life?

-I am a Ronda Rousey fan for life. She’s such an inspiration. She’s had a hard life and she never let anything get in her way of doing what she loves. And my biggest inspiration in life is myself. I am my only motivation to get up every morning and train my butt off and then go back and do it at night. I don’t believe you have to look up to someone to have to go do something. If you want something that bad you will do it yourself. I have come far in my journey with martial arts, and with my motivation and dedication I wouldn’t be where I am now.

Who are your favorite MMA fighters?

-Georges St-Pierre was the first person I ever watched when I turned on UFC 5 years ago. I was impressed by him and he was the one who got me more interested in the mixed martial arts. Also Junior dos Santos, the man is a machine!

How do you enjoy your free time when not training or fighting?

-I’m very chill, laid back type. I don’t really enjoy going out that much, occasionally yes. But when you train every day I like to have rest, movies are nice and hanging out at home with some friends. I also like hanging out with my family and my three dogs. :)

Of course we have a few questions for the male readership as well.

Are you single?

-No.

What do you look for in a guy?

-Athleticism, brains and knows how to treat a lady.

What are your turn-ons?

-A guy who trains.

What are your turnoffs?

-Street boys.

What would you say is your best feature?

-My smile.

Any future plans or dreams?

-To be the best I can.

Any shout outs you would like to make?

-Thank you to my sponsors, family, and most importantly my coach (Muay Thai). Him and his wife are family to me and push me hard every single day.

Thank you very much for your time and good luck on fight night! We would also like to wish you a very Happy 18th Birthday today Cheyanne! For more on Cheyanne Vlismas please visit her website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages.
