Nate Williams The Des Moines Flyweight Competitor
At 36 years old Nate Williams stands 5'1" and carries the nickname Teddy Bear into the cage. A native of Des Moines, Iowa, he represents Real Warrior Academy and has logged 56 professional fights, amassing a record of 33 wins and 23 losses. Despite his compact frame, Williams has built a career on activity and resilience, frequently competing in local and regional promotions throughout the US Midwest.
Williams currently sits at No. 550 in the North America MMA rankings. His profile extends into two North America sub-regions—US Midwest and Iowa—where he has met the requirement of at least two bouts in his last six fights. In each of those regions, and on the wider continent, he holds his place in the flyweight class, following a pair of recent outings at 125 pounds.
Over the past two years Williams has leaned into flyweight competition, fighting at least once in that division in each of his most recent two bouts. That focus has kept him relevant in regional standings even as he navigates a record marked by tight decisions and hard-fought finishes. For Williams, the next step is simple: convert regional respect into a rise in the stacked North America flyweight ranks.
