Historically, most ring card bearers at MMA events — big and small — have been women, or ‘girls’ as they’re more commonly referred to in the industry. But the UFC middleweight is looking to change that norm.
Theodorou made his debut as a ‘ring card boy’ at Montreal Fight League on Feb. 3. There have been a few instances before him, on the local scene, where an event has featured ring card boys, but Theodorou is the most well-known man to do it.
Some say it’s an easy task, but, in Theodorou’s opinion, not everyone can be a ring card bearer.
