Lindsey has always been an athlete at heart. She has loved sports of all kinds from a young age. After running competitively at university, she went on to embrace endurance running, racing in several marathons. All of this was put on hold when she had her first child.
Six months after giving birth, she was ready to try something new. It was then, with her husband’s encouragement, that she began her martial arts journey. With no previous martial arts experience, she began training once a week for fitness and fun. After a year, she began competing in local interclubs with the encouragement of her coach, Mark Kelly. Even before her first interclub, she was quietly dreaming of fighting professionally in front of a global audience. Her amateur career began a few months later and her commitment to and love for the sport has only grown since that time. In her 12-month amateur career Lindsey had many dominant performances and Lindsey was ready for her next challenge, she went on to make her professional debut.
Lindsey gave up a professional career with a global charity and restructured her entire life to pursue MMA with everything she has. She leaves no stone unturned in her pursuit of taking her MMA career as far as it will go. It is this desire to fight and find out how far she can go that fuels her. MMA is more than a sport, a hobby, or even a career. MMA is a part of her.
