Our Story

Chicago Mixed Martial Arts was started in 2010 by Misho Ceko. Misho is fourth degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Ralph Gracie. He is also a student of Muay Thai under Kru Mark Dellagrotte and Sityodtong Muay Thai, the most successful Muay Thai team in Thailand.

Misho, his partners, Chuong Pham and former UFC fighter Brian Gassaway (RIP), and our MMA coach Seng Sithisakd have grown Chicago MMA into the most successful gyms and fight teams in Chicago. Our fighters compete both at the amateur level and professional across the United States in MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, boxing, and grappling.
