Earning your first finish can create a ripple effect of milestone moments for fighters looking to break the mold of normality by throwing the weight of the decision monkey completely off their shoulders and changing the chapter and verse narrative about how they want to be viewed through the lens of stardom as a professional athlete by putting any lingering doubts to their final rest. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a rodeo roper of wayward wrongdoers ready to lasso in the critics at Featherweight for Fury Fighting Championship. A professional mixed martial artist since May 2023 and representing AZTEX MMA, Emmanuel Calhoune owns a 4-3 record in seven bouts consisting of three decisions and one knockout. He has spent the majority of his career in the professional ranks with Fury Fighting Championship. The only finish of his professional career has come in the opening round with a time of two minutes and 24 seconds. Calhoune has spent his whole career in the United States in his home state of Texas. All three of his decision wins have either resulted in split or unanimous verdicts.
At Fury FC 99, he faced Marco Dominguez and went on to defeat him via a split decision. Calhoune defeated Brian James via a unanimous decision at Fury FC 104. Then at Fury FC 108, he defeated Noufel El Kasri via a split decision to score his third decision victory as a professional.
At Fury FC Challenger Series 15, he defeated Chris Velarde via technical knockout in the first round. The victory earned Calhoune the first knockout win of his professional career in addition to finish number one under the Fury Fighting Championship banner. He also picked up his fourth win overall as a professional MMA fighter in the process. Calhoune’s persistence in perseverance is an important lesson because with every mixed martial artist whose stock of supply bottoms out in a linear loss. there will always be exceptional individuals whose rising influence will act as the spearhead toward sunnier and steadier ascents on firmer footholds as the new year dawns with freshening flavor!
