Add rising MMA stars Liz Carmouche, Chad Robichaux, and Mike Hayes to the list of clients represented by MMA powerhouse Alchemist MMA. Over the past week all
three were added to the quickly growing roster of clients under their banner.
“It’s a great day for Alchemist MMA,”
says President Lex McMahon. “We had been talking with Liz Carmouche before her
stunning fight against Marloes Coenen and knew we wanted her to be part of the
Alchemist team.”
A former Marine, Liz
“Girl-Rilla” Carmouche (5-1 pro record) stunned the MMA world when she stepped
up to fight Strikeforce women’s welterweight champion Marloes Coenen, a
decorated striker with a 19-4 MMA record on two weeks notice. Carmouche
dominated Coenen for the majority of their championship match, even mounting her
on the ground twice, before being caught in a triangle choke in the fourth
round. It was her first professional loss.
“Liz proved that she’s one of the top five welterweights in the
world among female fighters and she deserves an immediate rematch for the
title,” says McMahon. “She’s a naturally gifted athlete who dismantled a highly
decorated striker that had four times her experience. Everyone wrote her off as
a late replacement who Coenen was going to roll through and instead she took the
fight to the champ and showed what she’s made of.”
The second of Alchemist’s acquisitions is Professor Chad “Robo”
Robichaux, an undefeated bantamweight who has fought in several MMA promotions
including Strikeforce. Robichaux recently won the Legacy FC bantamweight
championship and on April 16th will make his Bellator debut when he takes on
bantamweight champion Zach Machovsky in a non-title fight.
Robichaux, who holds multiple black belts,
including a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt from Carlos Gracie Jr., started his
MMA career off with an astounding 10 straight wins by submission and won his
latest fight by decision over highly touted bantamweight Humberto Deleon at
Strikeforce Houston. Robichaux is an instructor and owner of three Gracie Barra
schools in Houston, Texas.
Rounding
out the new additions for Alchemist is Mike “300” Hayes (15-4-1 pro record), a
heavyweight who fights out of Redmond Washington and is currently on a three
fight win streak. Hayes’ most notable win was a KO victory over Fabiano
Scherner, but it’s his potential that Alchemist is excited about.
“Mike Hayes is a naturally gifted
athlete,” says McMahon. “He’s never trained in any form of martial arts or
wrestling, but he wins fights any way he wants to; by submission, decision, or
KO, he’s a well rounded fighter and hasn’t really tapped into his true potential
yet because he’s only taken his MMA training to the professional level in the
last year.”
