Thomas Glot sees sport as a real science. A graduate of an engineering school, he uses some of the concepts he studied in school textbooks in his training. “I was taught to be methodical and rigorous. For me, martial arts is a very big project in which you have to manage every little detail. Bodybuilding, nutrition, sleep…” At just 22 years of age, the Frenchman shows great commitment in his approach to combat sports, without losing his lucidity. “I started MMA when I was 13, and very quickly I knew I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. But I also realized that a fighter’s career was very risky, and that you shouldn’t ignore your professional life.” Pragmatic, Thomas Glot has managed to combine his beginnings in the cage with long studies, and can now devote more time to his sporting progression.

“Very young, I discovered the top level”.

All in all, Thomas Glot’s career development is a model of its kind. Despite his young age, the Frenchman demonstrates experience and maturity, two qualities he owes in part to his time with the French MMA team. “Very young, I discovered the high level. Before turning pro, I took part in the European and world amateur championships. It’s an extremely instructive circuit, from which I’ve learnt a lot of good things.” Tested against the best, Thomas Glot was able to compensate for his weaknesses, and today boasts a very all-round style, which is his main strength. “The more I progress, the more I adjust the settings. Wrestling, groundwork, boxing… In the cage, I want my opponent to feel in danger whatever the field. I’m a true MMA fighter!
