Background
In the heart of Sydney's Lions Den Academy, 22-year-old purple belt phenom George Mangos has been sharpening his all-rounded aggression since age 8, turning a childhood passion into a dominant force with sky-high fight IQ and relentless cardio.
The Sydney native, who snagged his first amateur win via rear-naked choke at just 15, thrives in the chaos of sparring and idolizes Ilia Topuria's precision, now he's laser-focused on an early knockout to catapult his explosive style onto the biggest stages.
Across the ring stands Wollongong's battle-hardened Justin "Lockjaw" Van Heerden, a 31-year-old BJJ black belt forged in South Africa's rugged fields of rugby, wrestling, and gymnastics before relocating to Freestyle Fighting Gym under coach Joe Lopez.
Starting his serious MMA grind in 2017, this cardio machine with wrestling dominance channels Georges St-Pierre's mastery and "anyone, anywhere" grit, vowing a relentless finish to smoke his younger foe and punch his ticket straight to the UFC.
Youthful fire meets seasoned fury when Mangos' one-sided excitement clashes with Van Heerden's cakewalk endurance, expect an early war that ends in highlights, as one rising star claims supremacy in a showdown of pure MMA thrill.
