Valerie Sanchez, Adam Salameh win MMA fights at Elite Fight Night 30

Big weekend for Benjilany Striking! Huge congrats to coach Valerie Sanchez and team member Adam Salameh, who both got their hands raised this past Friday at Elite Fight Night 30 at the Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana in Gary, Indiana.

Valerie (Valle Flow Striking) won her amateur MMA debut, taking home a unanimous decision win. She's been coaching at our gym since March 2023, and if you’d like to train under her, catch her on the mats on Wednesday evenings at Benjilany Striking.

Adam kept his undefeated streak alive, moving to 2-0 in amateur MMA with a slick rear-naked choke. Adam joined the team just four months ago. Benjilany Striking head coach Adil Benjilany was right there in his corner for the finish.

Congrats again to Valerie and Adam. And a big thank you to all our students who crossed state lines to pack the crowd and cheer them on.
