Anchorage’s Alton Prince: Heavyweight Ambitions in MMA
Alton Prince trains out of Mat-Su MMA in Anchorage, Alaska, carrying a 5'8" frame into the heavyweight division. His professional ledger reads 11 wins against 25 losses, and each night he steps into the cage he knows he’s the smaller man. Prince’s resolve has been tested far more often than celebrated, yet he remains a fixture on the regional scene, readying himself for the next opportunity to prove size isn’t everything in mixed martial arts.
Prince sits at No. 1,161 on the North America regional rankings and also earns a spot in the Alaska sub-region list. Those standings reflect a system that only charts fighters who have competed at least twice in a given area during their last six bouts. He maintains his heavyweight classification across both leaderboards by having fought in that weight class in two of his most recent fights. At 11-25-0, Prince may not headline pay-per-views, but his persistence in the cage offers a window into the grind beneath the sport’s brightest lights.
