Marion “The Belizean Bruiser”Reneau

Marion Reneau is an American mixed martial artist and former police officer with twenty-one professional fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). She currently competes in the bantamweight division.

Reneau was born in San Diego, California on April 8, 1977. At a young age, she was trained by her father to be an athlete and compete in sports such as soccer, basketball, swimming and track & field. After high school she attended junior college before moving to Oregon where she worked for three years as a police officer for the Klamath Falls Police Department.

During that time Reneau began practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu which led her to start training MMA full time when she left the Police Department. A month later she made her amateur debut at Gladiator Challenge: Beatdown inside of Oregon’s Chinook Winds Casino Resort, winning via first round submission due to strikes. Additionally yet another impressive victory earned “The Belizean Bruiser” recognition from Invicta FC who quickly signed her on a multi-fight deal and had her make her promotional debut at their third event against Julia Budd where she would lose by decision.
Reneau has since gone 4–1–1 in Invicta before signing with the UFC later that year after being offered multiple contracts from other promotions including Bellator MMA but turning them all down just so he could fight for Dana White’s promotion instead. Her Octagon debut came opposite Jessica Andrade whom Marion fought back ‘n forth until late into round two only to lose via armbar submission seconds away from potentially going home as victor after what was described as “the most exciting battle between female fighters in recent history”.
