Far from being a salesman of dreams, Osvald Fedorovic assumes his life to be “banal and ordinary”. “Contrary to what many fighters like to say, I don’t come from a poor neighborhood. I grew up in Vilnius in a loving family, and was brought up very simply.” Yet, despite this comfortable background, the young Lithuanian chose to put security aside, prioritizing his career in mixed martial arts over his university degree in physiotherapy. It has to be said that, at 24, Osvald Fedorovic already has references in MMA, and is beginning to make a name for himself in the cage. Winner of his last five fights, including three in the first round, the young man claims to have a spectacular style that is “always fun for the public”. “I try above all to entertain the crowd. And to do that, I use everything I know: high kicks, jumping knees, elbows…”. A winning bias, as evidenced by his most recent victory, won by spinning back fist in less than thirty seconds.

“I don’t try to avoid difficulty”.

On the strength of this superb dynamic, Osvald Fedorovic knows that he is already at a turning point in his young career, and that the opportunity offered by HEXAGONE MMA, on January 26 against Mehdi Ben Lakhdhar, can speed things up even further. “One fight can be enough to change dimensions. So I can’t wait to perform in front of the French public, and show what I can do. It’s a big challenge ahead of me, but I’m not trying to avoid difficulty. It’s precisely this mentality that will help me reach new heights.” At the Zenith in Paris, the young Lithuanian will also be able to rely on his skillfulness, which he considers indispensable in modern MMA. “I started with kick-boxing, of course, but I’ve become a well-rounded fighter over time. Today, I work on my grappling as much as my boxing!”
