Cassandra Madrigal

Cassandra Madrigal is an American mixed martial arts fighter, previously competing in the Flyweight division for Sin City Fight Club in Nevada, now competing for Macto Legion Championship.

Early Life
Cass grew up in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, to a troubled home. Her brother became involved with alleged crime syndicate and outlaw motorcycle club Mongols MC. Cass became involved with the Mongols as a result of dating a member, but when her brother and boyfriend were killed in a drug deal gone wrong, she left Los Angeles for San Francisco, where she got involved in judo and brazilian jiu jitsu as a way of keeping herself off the streets, and dealing with the anger issues she’d developed in regards to her brother’s death.

Amateur Career and Early Pro Fights (2012-2014)
She quickly rose to the rank of brown belt in judo and blue belt in BJJ, and decided she wanted to take on an MMA fight. With minimal striking training, and against a more experienced competitor, Cass won a decision in her first amateur fight, but found the fight boring. She dedicated herself to training her stand up further, but her antics both in her fight (taunting) and in the gym (rarely being “serious”) earned her the nickname of the Clown Princess by her trainer--also a reference to Cass’s Harley Quinn themed workout gear and green hair at the time.

As an amateur, Cass would go undefeated at 5-0, including a Bay Area Mixed Martial Arts Bantamweight Championship reign. She was given a different nickname, “The Night Queen,” when she scored 3 consecutive victories by putting opponents to sleep: two by choking them out, one by knockout. Her one and only use of the “Night Queen” alias, however, was her final amateur fight, in which she retained the BAMMA Bantamweight Championship.

After five consecutive amateur wins, Cass vacated the BAMMA Bantamweight Championship and turned pro. She left San Francisco for Reno, NV, took 8 months to acclimate to her new home and settle in, but the change in gym didn’t go well, and she was defeated in what turned out to be her final bantamweight bout. At her coach’s suggestion, she cut to Flyweight (125 lbs), and would go on a 5 fight win streak, capturing the Sin City Fight Club Flyweight Championship, and being dubbed “Madness” by the Nevada MMA media. Cass liked the moniker, and adopted it officially in her first title defense. She would go on to retain her title a second time before vacating it to sign with Macto Legion Championship.

Macto Legion Championship (2014 - Present)
Cass took part in the first ever MLC fight, against Ryan Jeter, winning by submission in the third round.

She was defeated by knockout at MLC 2, by Prince Pierre-Paul, in a record 6 seconds, as part of the tournament to crown an International Champion.

At MLC 3, Cass fought Heather Stevens to a no contest. The fight was originally a split decision win for Cass, but irregularities in the judging score card led to NSAC declaring the fight a no contest and setting up a rematch, scheduled for MLC 4.

Personal Life
Cass is left-handed, but fights in an orthodox stance.

Cass is open about her past, including past drug habit and gang related incidents.

Cass is openly bisexual, and in a relationship with Amber Walst.
