The dream has become reality. Brought up on the fights of Mike Tyson and the classics of martial arts cinema, Mikail Bayram followed his childhood role models, and today illustrates himself, gloves in fists, in the rules of MMA. “When I was little, I often imagined myself in a ring… My father passed on to me a taste for combat sports, but for a long time he refused to let his own son take up the sport. So it took some time, and finally it became my profession, and my father is now my number one fan.” Fully dedicated to the development of his career, the Franco-Turkish fighter redoubles his efforts on the tatami with a single objective in mind: to reach the highest sporting level, without giving in to the call of buzz and media hype. “In this business, some people are fighters and influencers. But for me, being known is not an objective. What I’m aiming for is performance, and nothing else!”

“I only think about winning my next fight”.

At the age of 25, Mikail Bayram is climbing the ranks step by step, showing particular ease in kick-boxing, his main strength. And after performing in several major international organizations, such as Cage Warriors and UAE Warriors, he is now focusing on his next challenge at HEXAGONE MMA. “Obviously, I want to achieve a great career, but I don’t want these thoughts to distract me. I’m not someone who thinks too far ahead. Right now, all I’m thinking about is winning my next fight, and that’s the most important thing.” All the more so as on March 15 2024, Mikail Bayram will be performing in Poitiers, his home town, where he lives and trains on a daily basis. A sporting and emotional challenge. “I’ve always wanted to fight at home, so this is a real achievement!”
