Elias “The Sniper” Mahmoudi

Multiple-time Muay Thai Champion Elias Mahmoudi has been training in Muay Thai for almost his entire life, having started training at his family gym since he was just 5 years old.

His competitive fire would even see him fly to Muay Thai’s home country of Thailand at the age of 9, where he won his first professional bout with a flying knee knockout to earn the nickname of “The Sniper.”

Driven by such prodigious success, he decided to dedicate his life entirely to the sport. He has since traveled repeatedly to Thailand to hone his skills among the world’s best Muay Thai artists at some of the biggest camps in the world.

As a result, Mahmoudi has already compiled an excellent winning record, with several knockouts along the way, to capture titles under the WMF, WPMF, and MTGP banners.

To this day, he continues to train at the Mahmoudi Gym in Bonneuil-sur-Marne, France, alongside many of his family members. 

Since 2019, Mahmoudi has become a mainstay in ONE Championship’s flyweight kickboxing division, even challenging for the divisional crown in 2019.
