Team England’s Lauren Reay sat down with MMASucka to discuss her upcoming Pallas Athena bout as well as the scheduled IMMAF tournament.
Reay holds an amateur record of 3-3 and has represented Team England at IMMAF for two straight years. Although the 2022 tournament didn’t go her way, 2023’s tournament was far more successful. She reached the final, narrowly missing out to the eventual champion, Hanna Palmquist.
Originally a Muay Thai practitioner, she made the move over to MMA due to the lack of opportunities and the difficulties in finding fights at an amateur level in the art of eight limbs.
