Alyse “Lil' Savage” Anderson

American MMA star Alyse Anderson was born in the Midwest town of Mason, Michigan, where she grew up immersed in nature. From an early age she took to the outdoors to ride dirt bikes, but it was martial arts that caught her attention the most.

“Lil’ Savage” experienced an unblemished run through the amateur mixed martial arts circuit before turning pro in 2015. From there, she continued her climb up the ranks of two Western MMA organizations, scoring three finishes with her dangerous ground game and equally impressive striking skills.

In 2021, Anderson garnered the attention of ONE Championship, and she joined the organization’s stacked women’s atomweight division. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu continues to be her greatest strength and, as a purple belt, she has built a reputation for her expert submissions, which usually catch her opponents off guard and get the job done.

Over the last few years, Anderson has been laser-focused on her goal of becoming the ONE Women’s Atomweight World Champion, and she will stop at nothing to get there.
