Nate Jennerman Nasty Lightweight from Wisconsin

At 32 years old, Nate Jennerman has carved out a steady niche in the crowded lightweight ranks. Standing six feet tall and training at Roufusport MMA Academy, Jennerman enters every fight with a 17-5 professional record and the kind of resilience you notice before the final bell. The Wisconsin native is currently ranked 121st in North America, a spot he’s earned through a mix of calculated aggression and measured defense. Jennerman’s presence is felt most strongly in the US Midwest and his home state, where he holds regional standings thanks to at least two outings in each of those markets over his last six bouts. Fighting under the moniker NASTY, he has alternated wins and losses by keeping opponents guessing—reaching into Roufusport’s well-known striking curriculum while avoiding predictable patterns. It’s in the lightweight division where Jennerman has solidified his ranking picture. With back-to-back appearances at 155 pounds, he’s focused on refining distance control and pacing against opponents who often outweigh him by experience. As he eyes the next step up the leaderboard, Jennerman’s mix of midwestern grit and high-level camp preparation will define whether he can climb beyond his current tier.
