Hawkey followed his brothers into MMA and enjoyed instant success, winning his first three fights en route a title shot. Hawkey was unsuccessful in his first title fight against Ryan van Niekerk, but the experience certainly helped him to evolve as a fighter.
Since his move to the Extreme Fighting Championship, Hawkey has managed to win three straight fights in under two minutes, including wins over Jean-Luc Kazadi and Denzil Wait. Hawkey’s destructive spree in the EFC has earned him a title shot against EFC featherweight champion Demarte Pena. Hawkey, who has a complete MMA game and experienced the emotion of a title fight will be a tough opponent for the reigning champion.
Wesley Hawkey has an incredible professional MMA record, finishing six of his seven opponents, all within the first round. For a self professed “white belt in Jits”, Hawkey has won via submission a remarkable 4 times. Both Hawkey’s losses have also come via submission, courtesy of Ryan van Niekerk and Francois Groenewald.
