Megan Poe’s MMA Origins and Dedication
Photo courtesy of Valor Fights.Megan Poe drives nearly 90 minutes each way from Pennington Gap, a small town in Virginia, to Team Oxendine in Johnson City, TN, to train multiple times a week. As an amateur mixed martial artist, she’s not even paid yet to step into a cage and fight another woman.
It sounds grueling, but it’s something Poe said she enjoys doing. And she hopes to make a career of it one day soon.
“It’s 100 percent passion,” Poe, who is only 20 years old, told MMASucka. “It’s a great way to spend your days. I really love it. It’s a strange thing to love.”
