In December 2025 Victor Yeo made his mixed martial arts professional debut winning by unanimous decision against Zanyar Kamaran. Victor had previously been a very successful British male gymnast out of Devon winning multiple junior National titles and medals for Great Britain on the international stage. He was tipped by many to be a superstar in the sport and was coached by professional stuntman and former Commonwealth Games silver medalist in artistic gymnastics Steve Jehu. Throughout the pandemic Victor struggled to transition into senior gymnastics battling with injuries and his physical stature having grown significantly to 180cm. In 2022 Victor made the decision to change course and he entered the world of mixed martial arts. Most recently Victor Yeo, AKA 'The Vanilla Gorilla' performed impressively at the Cage Warriors 203 event winning again by unanimous decision. And this is his story.
