The Guyana Mixed Martial Arts Federation (GMMAF) has named a four-member team for their second international competition, the Pan American Championships scheduled for Monterrey, Mexico later this month.
The team to compete in the June 22-24 championships, will comprise Shenese Bobb [lightweight], Trevlon Clarke [welterweight], Ijaz Cave [middleweight] and Carl Ramsay [heavyweight], a release from the federation stated yesterday.
Guyana made its international debut at the International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (IMMAF) Amateur World Championship in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in January of this year. Cave and Carlos D’Anjou were the representatives in the Middle East.
According to the correspondence, “Shenese Bobb will become the first woman to represent Guyana at an IMMAF competition while Ijaz Cave will be the first Guyana athlete to compete at consecutive IMMAF events. Since the women’s lightweight division has only three entries, Bobb will have but two other athletes standing in her way of glory.
“Both Carl Ramsay and Trevlon Clarke will be making their respective MMA debuts in Monterrey. Clarke is a member of the Guyana Police Force and has previously competed in other martial arts competitions. He competed at a Kempo Karate Open held in Barbados in 2018 and won three medals. Ramsay will enter a five-man heavyweight division against some tough opposition in search of gold.
