LAS VEGAS, Nevado--Trevor

Peek received his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, Tuesday night. The fight against Malik Lewis was featured on ESPN+.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is an American mixed martial arts promotion company based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Trevor Peek is a hometown boy from Pisgah, Alabama. For years he has been using his talent in mixed martial arts in local venues but with this contract, he is now a professional fighter. He boasts a 7-0 record.

“Everything I’ve been through in life has brought me to this moment. All the hardships. All the trials and tribulations.

Every good and bad decision I’ve made has led me here.

Some I regret, but ultimately I’m right where I belong. This is my moment, and I will own it. This isn’t just a passion. This is what I was put here for. This is my gift from God. Little over 5 years ago I had absolutely no hope. Jesus Christ gave me hope, a plan, and a purpose” stated Trevor Peek.

“ Thanks to all of my coaches, family, friends, teammates, fans, management team, and sponsors. I wouldn’t be who I am without the support that I have. Most importantly thank God for giving me the abilities He has, and for loving me when I hated myself” continued Peek.
