Amanda Leve, The Girl Who Subs Boys, Makes MMA Debut At Triton Fights 4
Brazilian jiu-jitsu prodigy Amanda Leve makes her MMA debut Friday, Sept. 8, at Triton Fights 4. Learn more about her here.
They call Amanda Leve the "biggest prospect in women's MMA" and for good reason.
The 20-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu wizard is a force on the mats, leaving a trail of bodies across her native East Coast. Trained in the famed Ricardo Almeida Academy in Robbinsville, NJ, Leve snatches arms, legs, and necks at will, overwhelming opponents with an approach that is equal parts technical and aggressive.
Due to her success on the mats, MMA fans have anxiously awaited the MMA debut of the BJJ prodigy, and that time is finally here.
Leve will compete Friday, Sept. 8, at Triton Fights 4 in Westbury, NY, live on FloCombat.
Among her impressive performances, she's secured submissions like this one:
And this one:
And she's even submitted boys:
Perhaps most impressively, Leve competed as a teenager against UFC women's bantamweight contender Cat Zingano in 2014 and gave her much older and more experienced foe all she could handle for the bout's duration.
As we've seen in MMA, high-profile prospects can either completely live up to expectations or flop dramatically inside the cage, making Friday's Triton Fights 4 a can't-miss opportunity -- and a high-pressure situation -- for the young Leve.
Being a fierce competitor and a veteran of the East Coast grappling circuit, however, Leve does have considerable experience to draw upon for his first foray into MMA.
