Kegan Gennrich Midwest Welterweight and Lightweight Standout
At 31 years old, Kegan Gennrich has become a fixture at Fox Valley Grappling Club in Appleton, Wisconsin. Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall and known in the cage as MACHINE GUN, he carries a quiet intensity into each training session. Born and raised in Appleton, Gennrich has spent the past decade sharpening his wrestling and jiu jitsu under the guidance of coaches who prize pressure and pace over flair. He may train in the heart of Wisconsin’s fight scene, but his vision stretches far beyond state lines.
Gennrich enters this stage with a nine and three professional record, split between lightweight and welterweight competition. His willingness to fluctuate between divisions has earned him regional rankings not only at welterweight but also at lightweight in the United States Midwest, Wisconsin and Minnesota. On a broader scale he sits at number 124 in North America. Those marks reflect at least two fights in each sub-region over his last six outings and underscore a career built on consistency rather than quick fixes. Now the question is whether this midwest staple can translate steady progress into a breakthrough on the bigger scene.
