Name some famous fighters from your town/City

[AusMMAfan]

All of these blokes were born in New Zealand. It seems that you meant "name some famous fighters that fight out of your town/city." In which case for Sydney would be the up-and-coming Tyson Pedro and the retired Anthony Perosh.

Whittaker is holding an Aus Flag, Mark Hunt has been living in Sydney for ages and Te Huna we'll claim him too =p

I cant think of any mma fighters.

Edit: although legends gym used to be about 30 min from my house, but I'm not sure which fighters are actual LA natives and which ones moved here from out of town.

Max, Hapa, Medeiros, Doane, Tavares and Smolka are all from the same island, but I don't think any of them are actually from Honolulu.
