Emmanuel Sanchez Roufusport Lightweight Standout
Emmanuel Sanchez is a 34 year old MMA veteran who trains out of Roufusport MMA Academy after getting his start in Houston Texas. Known in the cage as EL MATADOR, Sanchez stands five feet nine inches tall and competes in the lightweight division. His record of 23 wins and 11 losses reflects a mix of decisions and finishes that has taken him across regional fight cards and placed him on the North America rankings sheet.
Sanchez holds the number 134 ranking in the North America region and appears on subregion lists for the US Midwest and Wisconsin. Those placements are earned by virtue of at least two appearances in each area in his last six fights, highlighting a willingness to travel and take on local contenders. His recent outings at lightweight keep him firmly in title contention among peers who have been sharpening their skills under the same weight limit.
At Roufusport, Sanchez drills alongside championship fighters in an environment built on striking and wrestling fundamentals. His time in Milwaukee has given him access to coaching that balances offense and defense, reinforcing the veteran instincts that come from more than a decade in professional mixed martial arts. As he eyes the next match, Sanchez carries both the scars and the knowledge of a fighter who has navigated multiple regional circuits and built a clear path toward higher competition.
