A Young Fighter’s Journey
PROFC 22 Set to Deliver High-Stakes MMA Action in Orange Walk
Among the athletes stepping into the cage is Dominic Beaino, a rising Belizean fighter who remains undefeated in his MMA career. Beaino shared how his martial arts journey began in 2019 when his mother enrolled him in jiu-jitsu during a summer break. What started as an activity to stay busy quickly grew into a passion that eventually led him into competitive fighting.
Now balancing school, family responsibilities, and a demanding training schedule, Beaino credits discipline and dedication for his success. Despite the challenges of juggling academics and athletics, he remains focused on improving his skills and continuing his unbeaten streak. His upcoming matchup against fellow Belizean Jose Mia is expected to be one of the featured bouts of the night.
Growing the Sport in Belize
Riverol reflected on the growth of mixed martial arts in Belize since the launch of PROFC. He recalled a time when only a handful of athletes trained in the sport and local fighters often struggled against international opponents. Today, the landscape has changed dramatically, with Belizean athletes regularly winning titles and competing successfully against regional competitors.
According to Riverol, one of PROFC’s primary goals has always been to provide young people with a positive outlet for their energy while creating opportunities to develop athletic careers. Through martial arts, athletes gain discipline, confidence, and a support network that extends beyond the cage. He hopes more parents will encourage their children to participate in martial arts programs as a way to build character and life skills.
An Evening of Entertainment and Competition
PROFC 22 will take place at the Orange Walk Multi-Purpose Complex beginning at 7:30 p.m. Fans can expect more than just fights, with music, food, drinks, VIP experiences, and family-friendly entertainment planned throughout the evening. Tickets are available in multiple categories, making the event accessible to a wide range of spectators.
With a stacked fight card, local talent on display, and a growing fan base, PROFC continues to establish itself as one of Belize’s premier sporting organizations. Organizers are encouraging supporters from across the country to come out and witness the next chapter in Belizean mixed martial arts.
