Albanian Bear
As noted by Off the Bench and MMATKO, among other sources, Staten Island middle schooler Reshat Mati is a three-martial arts and boxing wunderkind. He's so advanced in all of the disciplines in which he trains that he is practically unbeatable. He's a United States Silver Gloves national champion boxer, and he may be even better in muay thai, kickboxing and wrestling.
All those victories and an Albanian heritage combine to form the basis for that unique nickname, one which Mati hopes will become much more pervasive in the years ahead.
So far, the youngster seems to be right on track. An amateur in all discplines, he is an undefeated boxer, an undefeated muay thai fighter and an undefeated MMA competitor.
Of course, muay thai, kickboxing, wrestling and boxing make up the basis of MMA competition. There's no coincidence that Mati trains in those specific discplines: Despite being just 13 years old, he already dreams of a future competing on the UFC circuit.
