In mixed martial arts, there are certain situations where sitting on the sidelines, absent from the action and the hustle and bustle of being a professional fighter, so that they can straighten their true priorities out, can bring the big picture back into focus and provide a path for where they really want to go in their professional lives after some personal soul searching. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet the latest stallion of silver longevity ready to stomp over the cobwebs and reappear in the rodeo ring for Fury Fighting Championship. A professional mixed martial artist since April 2019 and representing The blood pack Muay Thai, Wolfpack Muay Thai, SOTX BJJ and RGVFA Academy, Tedrick Macklin owns a 6-2 record in eight bouts consisting of four submissions, one knockout and one decision. Mackin has spent the bulk of his career as a professional MMA fighter with Fury Fighting Championship. He has spent his entire career in the United States with the majority of it being in his home state of Texas. Macklin has finished five out of his six total wins during his career in the professional ranks.
In his professional MMA debut, he choked out Ysidro Portillo jr in round one.
