Fegen, with a decade of jiu-jitsu training and four years of MMA experience under her belt, is on a mission to bring home the gold medal.
Having achieved remarkable titles such as the ACE featherweight champion, South African featherweight champion, and GFC featherweight champion, Fegen is determined to make a mark on the world stage at the upcoming championships.
