Fight Path: After loss of family and incarceration, Bellator’s Matt Major saved by MMA
There were days when Matt Major, growing up in New Jersey far away from his native Miami without his since-dead mother and father, would walk a few miles to a nearby karate studio just to watch through the glass because he couldn’t afford to take the classes.
Later, when he sat in a detention cell at 16 on minor assault charges, Major remembers vividly seeing a television screen through the bars that was showing an International Sport Karate Association Event.
Still without any training and trying to find his way in life living with fringe family members, the recently signed Bellator Fighting Championships fighter felt he had a firm grasp of the sport.
