Snohomish native and Glacier Peak High School graduate Miranda Granger is going pro.
Granger will make her professional Mixed Martial Arts debut Friday at the Tulalip Resort Casino as part of Summer Showdown IV. Granger will be involved in a 115-pound bout against Nikki Lowe, an experienced professional who’s based out of the renown Jackson Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Granger’s pro debut follows a successful amateur career in which she went 10-0 — 5-0 as an MMA fighter and 5-0 as a kickboxer.
So what’s it like being an MMA fighter? Take a look.
First, here’s some video of Granger sparring with her trainer, Charlie Pearson, at Charlie’s Combat Club in Everett in preparation for Friday’s fight (note the surprising MMA workout music, which was chosen by Granger):
