June is only a few days away and what better way to kick off the summer than with some fights?!
This weekend we have a blockbuster of fights as Mission athletes will be taking to the ring on both the FIRST and SECOND day of June.
If you've fought or been around fighters before you know how grueling the months leading up to a fight can be. Training sessions multiply, diets dwindle and chaos ensues as those athletes do whatever they can to physically and mentally prepare themselves for the challenges ahead.
Our athletes are no different and it's important for us to be there, pushing them with our support as teammates to keep going and push through those obstacles that await them.
This weekend we have FOUR different Mission athletes stepping into the ring and each one of these talented individuals represent the Mission brand to the utmost degree. Hard-work, humility and relentlessness are just some of the words we use to describe these gentleman. Fighters to some, coaches to others but most important of all, family to us all. Details regarding the fights are below, if you're interested in purchasing a ticket please see the front desk or talk to each fighter individually!

See you guys there!
This gym has it all! A great clean and vibrant environment. The coaches are truly elite and I can't emphasize this enough! I went to other gyms that had decent coaches but these guys will just keep you hooked. These coaches and members are my family and they will get me to my Mission! :) <3!!!
Mission MMA is hands down one of the best martial arts gyms in Chicago. It's a great place to train and to get a great workout in. Awesome people, knowledgeable staff, and a great facility.
I have attended their "better than bootcamp" class time after time and always leave knowing I got a great workout, worked hard, and had fun with my friends. Mission MMA has great facilities, ample parking, and is a beautiful new gym. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a challenging workout, wanting to try something new, or maintaining their health. The staff is super helpful with any questions about memberships and keep those white mats clean!
