Being big comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages as an MMA fighter, with seismic consequences for the opposition often being the final result. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet the latest man mauler creating his fair share of havoc at Heavyweight for Levels Fight League. A professional mixed martial artist since March 2022 and representing Impact Gym, Luke Newland holds a 4-1 record through five contests consisting of two knockouts and two submissions. He has fought for RAGED UK MMA and Levels Fight League. Newland has spent the majority of his professional career in the United Kingdom and has finished all four of his victories with a 100 percent finish rate to show for it during his journey inside the professional ranks. He has never gone to the scorecards at any point in time over the course of his career as a professional mixed martial artist. Newland also fought for several promotions as an Amateur including Full Contact Contender, prior to turning a professional. All of Newland’s finishes have come inside of two rounds.
In his professional MMA debut at RAGED UK MMA 14, he submitted Bartek Paszczyk in the second round. Newland defeated Robb Peters via technical knockout in round one at RAGED UK MMA 15. Then, at RAGED UK MMA 16, he tapped out Kofi Marshall via rear-naked choke in round one to notch his second submission win as a professional.
At RAGED UK MMA 18, he defeated Dion Groombridge via TKO in the first round. The win earned Newland the second knockout victory of his professional career along with his fourth consecutive finish. He also secured his fourth win inside the professional ranks in the process. Newland is a prospect whose blunt brutality is already showing to be larger than life size, so average foes won’t make the grade!
