In mixed martial arts, the best way to leave a lasting impression on an organization is to settle any outstanding issues in the combat contest cage by taking decisive action when an assignment is handed down with a crystal-clear understanding of the expectations. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a snatcher of tragic tidings ready to be the newest boogeyman of graveyard night at heavyweight for Legacy Fighting Alliance. A professional mixed martial artist since February 2025 and representing Demolition Fight Team, Charlie Cleveland holds a 5-1 record in six outings consisting of three knockouts, one submission and one decision. He is 1-0 under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner. All of Cleveland’s finishes over the course of his career as a professional MMA fighter have come in the opening round inside of five minutes or fewer. His only decision win has resulted in a unanimous verdict. Cleveland has spent his whole tenure in the United States.
In his professional MMA debut, he defeated Jeremy Riley via technical knockout in round one. Cleveland knocked out Mark Gordon jr in the first round at Caged Thunder 31. Then at EGO Fight Series 5 The Shipyard Showdown, he submitted Jean Silva via rear-naked choke in the first round to secure his first submission win as a professional.

In his promotional debut under the Legacy Fighting Alliance on the main card of LFA 226, he defeated Ben Wunder via TKO in the first round to pick up the third knockout victory of his professional career alongside scoring his first win and finish under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner.
