Karoliina is a Muay Thai fighter, turned MMA fighter, originally from Estonia. She currently trains in Thailand full-time and is dedicated to becoming the best MMA fighter she can be - with her sights set on the world's most prominent MMA organization - The UFC. Although she is still young, her clear vision for her future and determination to accomplish her goals are awe-inspiring. Karoliina wants to represent Estonia on the world stage and with an impressive fight record so far, she is on her way to doing so.
Karoliina and I discussed:
- Her accident, which in turn led to her pursuing Muay Thai
- Her future ambitions in the UFC
- Living & training in Thailand
- Representing Estonia on the world stage
- The importance of social media as a fighter
- Handling the pressures of being a fighter
- How she grew her online presence
- The female fighters who inspired her
- The community she found in Thailand
And much more...
My Take: It's not easy to have a vision for yourself, especially at a young age. Most people go through life just working and trying to figure it out as they go, never really finding their 'true purpose'. If you are lucky enough to find something that you want to dedicate your life to which can not only fulfill your soul but your pockets as well, you have to go for it!
