Garreth “Soldierboy” McLellan is a fantastic athlete. Originally a talented rugby player, he got involved in Mixed Martial arts as a means of improving his fitness and was hooked. Since then he has fought his way to the very top of Mixed Martial Arts in South Africa.

Fighting for the renowned Fight Force Militia team, McLellan has a  single blemish on his record, a TKO loss to Wade Henderson at Fight Force 1. Since then Garreth McLellan has worked tirelessly on his complete game and has managed to string together 5 straight wins, including a victory over Henderson to avenge his only loss.
