A man from Denham Green is aiming to win his second world title in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) at the end of this month.

Terry Brazier is the current RDX British welterweight title holder and the BAMMA welterweight world title holder which happened when he unified the belts back in March.

Now, Brazier is stepping down a weight as he searches for the world lightweight title, with his fight be televised on ITV4 on June 28.

Brazier will be fighting against Irishman Rhys Mckee for the title, which would make Brazier, should he win, only the second fighter in BAMMA history to win two world titles in two different categories.

Before his huge success in the MMA arena, Brazier was in the British army as a paratrooper and served in Afghanistan before he was dismissed after eight years of service with PTSD.

It was this dismissal that changed his life forever, after initially struggling to adapt to civil life after his dismissal from the army.

Brazier said: “I was an angry kid having been dismissed from the army and walked into the gym and fought a guy who had been doing this for seven years and I demolished him.

“That is how I met my current MMA coach who said I have so much natural talent and something that can’t be coached which is heart and it has taken off from there really.”

The drop down in weight division definitely has its challenges but Brazier is committed to making a second world title reality on June 28.

He added: “The training regime isn’t too different but I have to obviously lose a lot more weight.

“In the welterweight division, I would have to start dieting a week before. For this division it is three weeks before and I have to lose 16kgs.

“I have lost six at the moment so another 10 to go, and in the final week I am aiming to lose seven so it is tough but I can’t wait for the fight.”

Although Brazier has huge respect for his Irish opponent, he is ultra-confident of securing a second world belt in what has already been a wonderful career in MMA.

The welterweight champions said: “I wouldn’t be fighting if I didn’t think I wouldn’t win.

“He is a very good fighter, but he is just a kid and having been in the army, when it gets tough he won’t be able to get near me as that discipline is something that comes from being in the forces.

“I will get that second world title on June 28 then we can go from there.

“I absolutely believe I am the best fighter in the world, no question, and I look forward to showcasing that on the television in a couple of weeks time.”
