Elias Bouloubassis holds a world record for the 168-pound class with a 15-second knockout.
Reisterstown resident Elias Bouloubassis wants the world to know who he is. If not the world, then at least the junior middleweight (154 pounds) fighter would like to develop a following among those of Greek heritage in Baltimore.

Reisterstown MMA club wants to offer something its competitors do not.
The first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about Fight Club. Yet that may be exactly what the approximately 15 women of Baltimore Fight Club's cardio-boxing class want to do. Mingling cardio workouts with self-defense skills, owner Sergiy Kononov doesn't want the club to be intimidating, but instead says he offers a learning facility that appeals to all demographics. "I want to teach [them] skills," said Kononov. On a one-inch foam floor mat, a women's cardio-boxing class gathered, Wednesday evening in the last free twice-a-week class of a month-long trial period.
