Early career
Mamalis began wrestling at the age of six, continuing to wrestle into college.[1] He began his mixed martial arts career after leaving college.
He is currently the Victory Fighting Championships bantamweight champion,[2] as well as the Fight to Win featherweight champion[3]
Bellator Fighting Championships
Mamalis made his Bellator Fighting Championships debut at Bellator 20, against Mark Oshiro. Oshiro entered the fight as a heavy favorite, having already been signed to compete in the Bellator season three bantamweight tournament, but Mamalis defeated Oshiro 1:29 into round 2 via rear naked choke.[4]
With the victory, Mamalis earned a shot at a tournament qualifier bout at Bellator 23. His opponent, also fighting for a spot in the upcoming tournament, was Albert Rios. Once again, Mamalis entered the fight as the betting underdog. He defeated Rios via TKO due to strikes 4:40 into the first round, securing his place in the tournament.[5]
