Sammy-Jo Luxtonās Transition to MMA
During a conversation with VMTV at the latest PFL Europe media day, the āGhetto Cinderellaā spoke about how her transition to MMA came together. She also revealed what sheās been focusing on in preparation for the big move.
āI ended up getting a phone call asking if Iād like to transition to MMA. Itās always been in the back of my mind, Iāve 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.ā

She admitted itās all been a bit overwhelming, but āvery exciting at the same timeā and looks forward to seeing how far she can go in MMA. Since joining Manchester Top Team, sheās 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.
