Crystal “Vanessa” Demopoulos is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and a mixed martial artist who competes in the Strawweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. She is a color commentator and fight analyst as well.

I had the privilege to meet her during one of our Thanksgiving Open Mats and was very intrigued by her story. Grateful to Vanessa for making the time and for sharing. Hope you all enjoy.
