GBTT Athlete Lisa Zimmo (1-0-0) Shines in Pro Debut
GBTT athlete Lisa Zimmo (1-0-0) made an impressive pro debut in July, securing a third-round TKO victory over Rewan Yasser (1-2-0) at UAE Warriors 52. Zimmo’s relentless “Hellbow” flurry marked the 31-year-old Palestinian fighter as a rising star in MMA. This hard-fought win gave her the perfect start to a career that promises to go only one way….UP!
The victory was more than just a win; it was a powerful statement. Zimmo finished the fight in brutal fashion, something she had been training for and visualizing throughout her entire camp. From the moment the contract was signed, those elbows—nicknamed “Jiggly” (left elbow) and “Puff” (right elbow) were on the menu.
Quick Turnaround: Zimmo vs. Sohila “Somaka” Sleem at UAE Warriors 53
Just two months after her debut, “Shellshock” Zimmo is set to return at UAE Warriors 53: Arabia vs. Africa to face Sohila “Somaka” Sleem (0-1-1). For Zimmo, this quick turnaround is no problem. She’s always in peak condition, constantly training and ready for action, leaving no room for “short notice” in her vocabulary.
Zimmo returned to the gym just days after her first pro fight and has been grinding ever since, fine-tuning her strengths and continuing to develop her skills under coach and teammate Wesley Maia.
Coach’s Praise and Future Outlook
Head coach Brad Pickett is quick to point out Zimmo’s rapid progress. He emphasises that her athletic physique, dedication, and well-rounded skillset make her a formidable opponent for anyone in the division.
