Invicta FC 33’s Anastasia Nikolakakos talks about accepting, not conquering, nerves ahead of Invicta debut

After being perfect so far in her pro MMA career, Anastasia Nikolakakos (2-0) will test herself in the Invicta cage on Saturday night. The atomweight fighter, who is based north of Toronto, takes on Ashley Medina at Invicta FC 33 in Kansas City, MO.

Nikolakakos’ entry into the world of martial arts came when she was just five years old, at her father’s karate studio in North York, Ontario. However, Nikolakakos’ parents divorced while she was young and this put a halt to her karate lessons.

In high school Nikolakakos played on just about every sports team the school had.
