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, FacebookInstagram and Twitter pages.

Fighter Babe Maegan Goodwin Returns to the Cage this Saturday

Fighter babe Maegan “Mayhem” Goodwin returns to the cage this Saturday for a battle with Hannah Zeciri in Fort Smith, Arkansas for Xtreme Fighting Inc. We recently caught up with Maegan prior to her big fight for the interview below.

How did you get involved in MMA?

-I started MMA as a workout. I had no intention in fighting. The more I did it, the more I liked it and better I became. I had to give it a shot!

What is a typical training week like for you?

-Since I work and go to school I have to schedule all my training around that for now. After class is when I get my weights and cardio in everyday. I hit that hard for about an hour to an hour and a half. After work is when I go to practice and that is from 7-9. Two intense hours! We train everyday but Saturday.

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

-I am fighting Hannah Zeciri in Fort Smith, Arkansas for Xtreme Fighting Inc.

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

-The best experience to me as a fighter is the victory! After you put so much of yourself into something and you have it pay off it is very emotional and satisfying. The worst would definitely have to be when my opponent didn’t show up for a fight. That was a huge bummer. I was so pumped about that fight. It was the first time any of my friends and family was going to really get to see me fight. It was also my 21st birthday and my first cut to 135 lbs which was a hard one. There’s nothing more devastating than that.

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

-Get ready for a lifestyle change. If you really want to be successful in MMA it becomes your life, not part of it. This is a fun and surprising sport but it takes hard core dedication as we all know. It’s no joke!

What or who are your inspirations in MMA and life?

-Ronda Rousey and Cris Cyborg are my two main girls! Ronda has an awesome mindset and drive and I love to watch Cyborg kill girls! Cyborg is so powerful and can take a mean hit! That is what I aim for!

In addition to those two who are your favorite MMA fighters?

-Other than those two girls I like Jon Jones. He’s such a talented fighter and stays humble. He’s also sponsored by Nike, which is basically my dream!!

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

-I am pretty consumed. When I’m not training I’m usually doing school stuff for now. I always try to go home to my family every week or two. I have to see my mini me, my niece Abby! Other than fighting, she’s my life!

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

Are you single?

-I recently started dating a guy at our gym actually. (:

What do you look for in a guy?

-Definitely have to be athletic and healthy! A huge thing for me is living a healthy lifestyle. I like them to have somewhat of a religious background. Sense of humor is a must for me! I’m only in serious mode about 10% of the time. Looks aren’t a bad trait either.

What are your turn-ons?

-Someone who can be manly but also have a soft side. I love a secret softy.

What are your turnoffs?

-Cockiness. Eww.

What would you say is your best feature?

-Hmmm, definitely my legs. My body is about 80% legs, haha.

Any future plans or dreams?

-My dream is to make it to the UFC and fight Ronda Rousey! Oh, and also a Nike sponsorship!

Any shout outs you would like to make?

-Definitely to my coach and teammates! Thank you to Jerry Miller, Jeron Miller and Jaymee Jones. Also to my mom for always supporting me although she will never work up the courage to watch me fight. That’s fine with me.

Thank you very much for your time Maegan and good luck on fight night! For more on Maegan please visit her Facebook and Twitter pages.
