Healthy rivalries within mixed martial arts are often ignited by the survival of the fittest principle where only one combatant can emerge victorious while the other goes back to the drawing board. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a steed of chilly craftiness ready to dig his hooves deep in cold snow at Bantamweight for Unified MMA. A professional mixed martial artist since June 2024 and representing TKO Fighting Arts, Dan Sopa owns a 2-1 record consisting of one submission and one knockout. He has spent his whole career as a professional MMA fighter with Unified MMA. Sopa has never gone to the scorecards over the course of his professional journey with a 100 percent finish rate to show for it. He is 2-1 under the Unified MMA banner. Sopa has spent his whole professional tenure in his home nation of Canada. Sopa has finished both of his victories through three appearances inside the professional ranks thus far with each finish coming inside the distance.
In his professional MMA debut and promotional debut under the Unified MMA banner at Unified MMA 57, he faced Alex Glusman and went on to knock him out in round three to notch his only knockout win as a professional. Then in his third outing under the Unified MMA banner on the preliminary card of Unified MMA 62, he submitted Thomas Orsini via rear-naked choke in the third round. The victory scored Sopa the first submission win of his professional career alongside his second win and finish under the Unified MMA banner. He also earned his second overall win as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. Sopa’s untamable spirit can never be reined in because of his ability to make opponent wilt in less-than-ideal conditions when they hear the clip clop of a steady trek making a beeline for personal pride and Canadian fortitude at the border line!
