Mark Hulme South Africas Rising Middleweight Contender

At 30 years old, Mark Hulme stands six foot two and carries the weight of Johannesburg’s MMA scene on his shoulders. Fighting out of Team CIT, Hulme has built a professional ledger of 13 victories and three defeats, blending power striking with a measured grappling base. His training ground in Gauteng has produced athletes known for their toughness, and Hulme fits that mold—lean, composed and adaptable between Middleweight and Welterweight cages. That adaptability has earned Hulme a spot at number 14 in the Middle East and Africa rankings, a nod to his consistency across six regional bouts. South Africa is the only subregion where he has appeared twice in his last six fights, and he remains ranked in both weight classes for each region he’s contested. As Hulme eyes the next step, his regional standing underscores a fighter on the cusp of breaking through continental barriers.
