Has there ever been a jewish profesional fighter?

[NHB7]

Lot of great Jewish boxing champs between 1900-1930.

 

[Kim Jong Un]

Rich kids don't fight. Jews did well in boxing though when they used to be poor immigrants in America. Like that Mickey Cohen guy they made a movie about.

 

[Kim Jong Un]

Also that Russian street fighting legend who fights on youtube is Jewish.

Off the top of my head:
Moti Horenstein
Ido Pariente
Noad Lahat
Rory Singer

Moti Horenstein was the first one that came to my mind too.

Lyoto Machida is half Japanese and half Israeli.

Machidheim

[BoogerDawson]

Charlie Brenneman

They both have Jewfros.

Goldberg. The one that just beat Brock.

 

[carlos cadona]

There was some Jewish guy that got ko'd in like 5 seconds on TUF 11 once. There was also some Jewish guy that got flying knee ko'd last year in the UFC. I don't remember either of their names.

 

[Drenalin]

What about Kenny Florian?

 

[RighteousWar]

cant find any on fight finder

How would you even look for that on Fight Finder, you goof!?

 

[Limit Smasher]

I always figured Charlie Brenneman is a Jew. But I dont know really know. He looks like a Jew though.

I do recall that there used to be an organization called Israel FC. I think Frank Trigg fought for them once?

Yes, here it is:

Mortimer "I will schmear you" Bernstein was a good lightweight out on Long Island in the early years.

 

[Andrei Orlovski]

Weidman?

 

[TourIsOverBoyo]

Khabib

 

[Cro Cop Is Back]

Faber ya goof

 

[BoogerDawson]

Jesse Taylor from TUF

His nickname is JT Money.

 

[SBC]

Is Faber really Jewish??? That one completely threw me off. I remember him talking about how his family raised him in some really liberal Church that sounded very hippie-ish.Where did you get this info from? And Arlovski is Jewish as well??? And Machida??? Never knew about them either. Is John Lineker? He has a Star of David tattoo so it made me wonder. That black boxer who fought Kovalev in Russia is jewish too I believe.

I'm Jewish, not that it matters, and I had relative that was a solid boxer. He fought Sugar Ray Robinson once. His name was Georgi Abrams. Most of the jews in combat sports I can think of were either in boxing or Olympic wrestling. Mostly from the Soviet Union. There has been one Olympic wrestler from Iran that was jewish too.
