“I don’t have an incredible life. I’m just a normal person who works hard in training! Faithful to his town, his coaches and his nature, Leopold Goi advances in the world of martial arts without making any trouble, motivated by a deep passion for fighting. From Mantes-la-Ville, where he has always lived, the 27-year-old alternates between his job as an educator and his many training sessions with the Chapa Quente team. “I give my all, that’s what makes the difference. I don’t really have any talent, but I train very hard! A jiu-jitsu and luta livre specialist, Leopold Goi now performs in the cage thanks to his ground skills. With 100% of his victories by submission in the first round, he has perfectly adapted his techniques to the constraints of MMA.
“I have no right to make mistakes”.
For all that, Leopold Goi is not just a simple fighter. Over the years, he has made up for lost time in striking, and now claims to be able to box with the best. Above all, he can take advantage of his lanky physique (1m77), and immense reach for the flyweight category (-57kg). “At my boxing distance, almost no opponent can touch me. It’s an extra weapon, but this type of physique also has its drawbacks. Against stockier fighters, the fight can be difficult.” Whatever the case, Leopold Goi is more determined than ever, and intends to make a fresh start, on May 24, for his first fight at HEXAGONE MMA. “I have no right to make mistakes. I’ve lost my two last fights, so I’ve got to show what I can do!”
