Background

Born and raised in Wyoming, Mamalis began wrestling at the age of six. At Green River High School, Mamalis continued with wrestling as well as playing football. He won three state titles for wrestling, in addition to a runner-up finish. In football, he won All-State honors and helped lead his team to a state title. In college, Mamalis wrestled for the Western Wyoming Community College Mustangs where he was the national runner-up at 125 lbs. during his sophomore season. [1]

Mixed martial arts career

Bellator Fighting Championships

Mamalis made his Bellator Fighting Championships debut at Bellator 20, against Mark Oshiro. Oshiro entered the fight as a heavy favorite, having already been signed to compete in the Bellator season three bantamweight tournament, but Mamalis defeated Oshiro 1:29 into round 2 via rear naked choke. [2]

With the victory, Mamalis earned a shot at a tournament qualifier bout at Bellator 23. His opponent, also fighting for a spot in the upcoming tournament, was Albert Rios. Once again, Mamalis entered the fight as the betting underdog. He defeated Rios via TKO due to strikes 4:40 into the first round, securing his place in the tournament. [3] He would then lose consecutive fights at Bellator 27 and 29.

Absolute Championship Berkut

Mamalis faced Terrion Ware on January 13, 2017 at ACB 51. [4] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.

Bare-knuckle boxing

Mamalis faced Johnny Bedford at a Bare Knuckle FC event held on June 2, 2018. He lost the fight via TKO in the second round.
