Ieuan Davies
Pro record: 3-0
Amateur record: 7-1
Weight class: Lightweight
Age: 27
Fighting out of Wrexham, Wales
I’ve been watching and writing about Davies ever since he was an amateur. Like many MMA fighters, growing up he was always in traditional martial arts, starting in kickboxing and karate. The Welshman is a strong kickboxer. His front kick is the jab and his roundhouses are his right/left hooks. Davies quickly asserts himself right away in fights, landing thudding kicks to knock you out. He kicks frequently and mixes it up going to the head and body before going upstairs. When he decides to throw his hands, it is set up off of his kicks. Very bright future I’m predicting.
Ayan Tursyn
Pro record: 3-0
Amateur record: 10-5
Weight class: Strawweight
Age: 28
Fighting out of Almaty, Kazakhstan
Tursyn is a young pro but has a ton of experience as an amateur. She has experience with IMMAF and did really exceptionally. On the feet, Tursyn is a lot of movement and throws a lot of kicks. She loves to throw a lot of front kicks and spinning kicks. Tursyn likes to be diverse and tricky in her approach. It’s hard to tell what she’s going to throw. As a pro and amateur, she’s had a few highlight reel knockouts. Her wrestling and grappling have improved over the course of her career. Not many women fight like her and that makes her a must-watch.
