Nikita Lapstevich
Year Began Martial Arts: 2009
Fight Name: Grizzly
Nikita Laptsevich started training karate in 2009, which he trained in diligently for a couple of years. But it was not until 2017 that he really seriously decided to train with singular focus. This focus moved him through from student to champion, as he moved from adolescence to adult.
Nikita is an MMA Champion and BJJ Champion, who leads by example both inside the cage and outside it. He not only is a great role model, he more importantly helps those around him become the best they can be, always offering advice to those who come after him, and being there supporting those that came before him.
