AJ Cunningham Signs With UFC To Fight On Short Notice

In the unpredictable world of mixed martial arts, fighters often face unexpected challenges that put their skills, determination, and adaptability to the test. One such warrior is First Round Mangement client AJ Cunningham. Hailing from the small town of Batesville, Arkansas, he has recently become the talk of the town for accepting a short-notice fight in this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs Gaziev.

The call came on a Monday morning, and within a matter of time, AJ found himself gearing up to face Ludovit Klein. What sets this bout apart is not just the short notice but also the fact that AJ Cunningham has opted to step up a weight class for this challenge.

Hailing from Batesville, a town known for its tight-knit community, AJ Cunningham has been making waves in the MMA scene, and his journey has only just begun. What adds to his story is the familial connection with another UFC standout – Bryce Mitchell. AJ is Bryce’s cousin, and the two fighters share not only a bloodline but also a passion for the sport that fuels their pursuit of greatness.

AJ trains out of Law School MMA, under the guidance of head coach Brian Hall. Hall has played a pivotal role in shaping AJ’s skills and mindset. The Law School MMA team is renowned for its commitment to producing well-rounded fighters, and AJ stands as a testament to their training philosophy.

In addition to his primary training camp, AJ also collaborates with Factory X working closely with head coach Marc Montoya. This cross-training approach allows AJ to refine his techniques, adapt to diverse fighting styles, and stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of mixed martial arts.

Taking a fight on short notice is a testament to AJ Cunningham’s warrior spirit and readiness to seize any opportunity that comes his way. Stepping up to face Ludovit Klein is no small feat, especially when moving up a weight class. AJ’s confidence and preparation speak volumes about his commitment to the sport.
