Maureen "Baby Face" Riordon began training in January of
2010 when she joined FusBoxe Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness in Westminster,
Colorado. She did not have any athletic experience when she started out, but
found herself in her first grappling tournament only three short months
later. she became addicted to the sport at once and went on to claim seven
gold medals in the next six months, and took both first and second place in
nationally ranked tournaments.
After numerous fights falling through for every reason
under the sun, her first fight finally came through for her in June of 2011
for Ring of Fire's Muay Thai Mayhem against Allison Lantz.
Since then she has had ten amateur fights in total,
ranging across MMA, kickboxing, boxing, and Sanda and she made her
professional kickboxing debut May 3rd for Glory Sports Internationa. In
March 2014 she signed a multi-fight deal with RFA: Resurrection Fighting
Alliance where she will be making her professional MMA debut later this
summer!
"Maureen is the toughest nerd in MMA, she brings intelect,
courage, skills and a goal to keep giving back to the community, using her
mma fame to help bring attention to TEAM BABY FACE. You have to love the
dedication in more ways than one. I do see her becoming a true force in the
world of female kickboxing and mma so keep an eye on this rising star." -
