Macy Chiasson Was Born In New Orleans, Louisiana

Macy Chiasson was born to parents in New Orleans, Louisiana. She is currently 31 years old and was born on July 27, 1991, under the sign of Leo.

Her parents have played an important role in her life and are one of the reasons for her successful UFC career.

Her father may have practiced MMA moves with her daughter as a child, and she may have been interested in the UFC since she was a child.

The athlete prefers to keep details about her parents private, but her parents have always been there to motivate and encourage her.

Macy began MMA at the age of 19 after being bedridden for three and a half weeks recovering from a car accident to regain her fitness level as a high school softball player.

The fighter was drawn to the physical aggressiveness and tough mental side of the combat sport after attending some Krav Maga classes at the martial arts gym and began teaching Krav Maga after one year of training.

As Krav Maga is not a competitive combat sport, she switched to mixed martial arts, training at Mid City MMA and Mushin MMA.

Chiasson began competing professionally in mixed martial arts not long after she began training.
