Another teenager has taken the step of becoming a pro fighter.
Fifteenth year old Australian Kaela Banney got her first pro win, avenging an amateur loss to Melanie Malone by getting the unanimous decision at Fightworld MMA on the Goldcoast in Queensland, Australia Saturday night.
Having her first MMA match at age 14, Banney is one of the youngest pro fighters to debut. She is currently a black belt in the Gladstone adult MMA program. She recently took a trip to Thailand to train in Muay Thai.
No word on when she will fight next.
