Sammy-Jo Luxton’s Transition to MMA
During a conversation with VMTV at the latest PFL Europe media day, the ‘Ghetto Cinderella’ spoke about how her transition to MMA came together. She also revealed what she’s been focusing on in preparation for the big move.
“I ended up getting a phone call asking if I’d like to transition to MMA. It’s always been in the back of my mind, I’ve been [working on a] transition to boxing as of last year, so it was a change that I needed, and I grabbed it with both hands.”– Sammy-Jo Luxton
She admitted it’s all been a bit overwhelming, but “very exciting at the same time” and looks forward to seeing how far she can go in MMA. Since joining Manchester Top Team, she’s been prioritizing her ground game, focusing on Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling. She knows she can always come back to Muay Thai, likening it to riding a bike.
In addition to joining the PFL, Luxton makes her pro boxing debut later this month. She is scheduled to compete on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather vs. Aaron Chalmers card, which takes place Saturday, February 25 at the O2 Arena.
