In the unforgiving nature of the wide sports world past and present, the true instincts of any MMA fighter never really start to show until the true gravity of the situation takes hold and only one combatant emerges victorious and completes the mission on the reopening of the cage doors. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a lioness of icy rigidity leaving her quarries at the mercy of the elements and frozen stiff as a snowbank at strawweight for Unified MMA. A professional mixed martial artist since May 2025 and representing Flash Academy Martial Arts, Marta Pankiv owns a 3-0 record consisting of one knockout, one submission and one decision. Pankiv has spent her entire career as a professional MMA fighter with Unified MMA and is 3-0 under their banner with two finishes under her belt to show for it in three appearances with the organization. She has spent her whole tenure in Canada and has finished two out of her three victories during her journey inside the professional ranks. Her lone decision win has resulted in a unanimous verdict.
In her professional MMA debut and promotional debut under the Unified MMA banner at Unified MMA 62, she faced Danielle Lentini and defeated her via unanimous decision to secure her only decision victory as a professional. Pankiv submitted Sonia Black Ruby via rear-naked choke in round one at Unified MMA 64 to earn her sole submission win as a professional. Then on the main card of Unified MMA 68, she defeated Tanya Nijjar via TKO in the second round to notch the first knockout win of her professional career alongside scoring back-to-back finishes under the Unified MMA banner. She also picked up her third consecutive victory overall to start her arc as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. At 3-0, Pankiv’s piercing cold stare of silent determination can cool off the hottest of streaks in the ultimate chill down chain at a systematic command!
