MMA Warrior Jeslen Mishelle, Pro Wrestler, Actress, Undefeated Amateur, PFL Challenger
February 27, 2022,
Are we watching someone in the early stages of greatness?
Years from now, will the world say, this is what Jeslen Mishelle was doing in 2022?
Up until now, Jeslen has been doing a lot. In many industries.
In all fairness, mostly under the radar.
Research indicates that she is a pro wrestler.
An Amateur MMA Fighter with a 5-0 record.
A movie actress in emerging films.
Here is the description of one of the films, “Fight 4 Your Life” that she stars in. The tagline is “The journeys we make are the journeys we take.”
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
At imdb.com they share, “Meet Fleet. From the time he was a boy he’s trained his mind and body for combat, in the boxing ring and out. On this night, the night of the long awaited boxing match against his old rival, Fleet has been thrown into a peculiar kaleidoscope of events that is threatening to stop him from reaching the most important fight.”
Jeslen will play a part in the film.
Here is another.
Title? Predatory Lender.
You’ve seen it, right?
Now for the description. The group at IMDB posts, “Predatory Lender is a dark thriller that follows the exploits of a psychopathic real estate agent who is as cold and deceptive in business as he is in the pursuit of his beautiful young prey.”
Sounds like one of our former Real Estate Agents. Seriously.
Now, for Jeslen doing a monologue. While it lasts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr1UhEEOv58
Do we sense Oscar?
Impressive resume. All kidding aside, truly. Hopefully Jeslen has a sense of humor. Everything is easy until you try and do it.
Having said that, her most important notch to place on her resume is coming up on March 4, 2022, when she participates in the Professional Fighter’s League’s women’s showdown card.
There is a lot on the line for Jeslen.
This is the part that she absolutely needs to get right.
She needs a victory to keep the machinery she is building up, to go forward.
It will not be easy. We have researched the fighters and they pack powerful MMA, Kick Boxer and National Wrestling Champion victories.
Not a scripted pro wrestler in sight. Typically you become a pro wrestler after you retire from MMA championship fighting (Rhonda Rousey).
Jeslen is many positive things. Typical is not one of them.
The global news and information source, miamiherald.com reports, “The Professional Fighters League (PFL) announced that the PFL Challenger Series will continue from Universal Studios in Orlando on Friday, March 4 at 9 p.m. with women’s lightweight action.”
Nice beginning.
The team at mmafighting.com adds, “The Professional Fighters League has announced 16 more fighters will have the chance to earn a roster spot for the upcoming season along with a coveted $1 million prize. On Wednesday, the promotion announced the four women’s lightweight matchups that will take place March 4 at its Challenger Series event at Universal Studios in Orlando.”
A million dollar prize. Wow.
We love Jeslen’s hustle and we wish her the best, but she will be up against it. Big time.
Here is what one of our writers wrote in an article to be published soon, in our library vault, about her opponent, Germany’s Julia Dorny, “But the biggest fight of her young life will occur when Julia takes on American Jeslen Mishelle, March 2022, for a chance to win a Professional Fighter’s League contract.
She is the only female athlete in the world who has won championships in judo, mixed martial arts and sumo wrestling. She was the first German woman to become MMA European Champion and MMA World Champion in featherweight within the IMMAF amateurs.”
See what we mean?
More on that.

The women’s lightweight event will be headlined by a matchup of European kickboxers who have made the move to MMA. The Czech Republic’s Martina Jindrova (3-2) is a combat sports veteran and four-time Czech national kickboxing champion. She will be taking on a fellow kickboxer in Portugal’s Jacqueline Cavalcanti. Cavalcanti (2-0) has an extensive striking resume and is undefeated in her young MMA career.
Former United States Olympic trials wrestler Jackie Cataline will take on young Brazilian phenom Evelyn Martins in a battle of top prospects. Cataline, a former Pan American and two-time USA national wrestling champion, will be making her professional debut. She will face one of the best young prospects in women’s MMA in Martins. The 19-year-old is already 2-0 as a pro and has been training out of the prestigious American Top Team since arriving in the United States.
Germany’s Julia Dorny will take on American Jeslen Michelle and New Zealand’s Michelle Montague will face American veteran Olivia Parker to round out the card.
EFC champion Reinaldo Ekson and Mike Barnett will square off in the main event of the March 11 featherweight card. Ekson (16-5) is a well-rounded Brazilian fighter who will be making his North American debut and looking for a ticket to the 2022 PFL Season. Barnett (11-3) is a finisher who has three first round stoppages on his ledger.
Wrestling standout Edwin Cooper Jr. and Aaron Blackie matchup in a duel of high-end grapplers. Cooper Jr. (5-1) trains out of Albuquerque’s Jackson-Wink camp and is a former Juco national champion who also wrestled at the University of Iowa. Blackie (8-2) is a grappling savant out of Australia who has finished all eight of his victories.
