At only 20 years of age, Alejandro Tellez is a young, promising MMA and Muay Thai fighter from Colombia, training out of the prestigious MMA gym City Kickboxing. A humble but ferocious athlete hungry to conquer the big leagues of Mixed Martial Arts.

Now under the guidance of one of the best coaches in the world, Eugene Bareman, I can’t wait to see him rise through the ranks making his dream come true.

I enjoyed this conversation very much, and it was very special to have a fellow Colombian who proudly represents us in this amazing sport.
