Italian mixed martial artist Antonio Mammarella is gearing up to make his mark in the world of MMA as he prepares to debut in ONE Championship. The 24-year-old fighter is set to face off against Adrian Lee in a lightweight MMA bout at ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II on June 7th in Bangkok, Thailand. Mammarella, who hails from a small town in Italy, received top-notch MMA training from his first coach, Angelo Pompeo, which paved the way for his successful amateur career. Now based in Australia, Mammarella opens up about his journey, the challenges he faced, and his aspirations to become a world champion.
The Journey to ONE Championship
Mammarella’s decision to leave his home country was driven by his desire to seek greater opportunities and challenges in the MMA world. In Italy, while the sport is growing rapidly, the path to becoming a professional fighter is arduous due to financial constraints. The young fighter made the bold move to relocate to Australia, where he now trains at Sydney’s MMA Family Fight Team under the guidance of Renato Subotic, a close associate of his first coach, Pompeo.
Seizing Opportunities and Making an Impact
Mammarella’s leap of faith paid off when he secured a remarkable TKO victory in his professional debut last December, catching the attention of ONE Championship. Despite being relatively new to the professional scene, Mammarella’s talent and dedication shone through, earning him a coveted spot in the prestigious promotion. Excited about the opportunity, Mammarella is determined to showcase his hard work and skills on the global stage.
Aiming for the Top
As Mammarella gears up to face Adrian Lee, a member of a renowned martial arts family, he remains steadfast in his goal of clinching victory on June 7th. While acknowledging the formidable reputation of his opponent, Mammarella is focused on his immediate objective, viewing it as the first step towards his ultimate dream of claiming the ONE Lightweight MMA World Championship.
