Justin Van Heerden South African Lightweight in Asia Pacific Rankings
Justin Van Heerden is a 31-year-old lightweight competing under the nickname LOCKJAW. Standing 5'11" and hailing from Windang, New South Wales, Australia, he now trains at Freestyle Fighting Gym in South Africa. Van Heerden has built a 15-7-0 professional record over 22 bouts, blending Australian grit with South African fight camp discipline.
In the latest Asia Pacific rankings, Van Heerden holds the No. 71 spot in the region and also appears in the Australia & New Zealand sub-region rankings. His placement reflects a recent push to compete at lightweight—he has fought at least once in that division in each of his last two outings—and a minimum of two fights in each ranked territory over his past six matches. As LOCKJAW continues to pursue a higher profile on the Asia Pacific scene, his cross-continental path underscores a career defined by adaptability and steady production inside the cage.
