About Sydney Hlebik:
Sydney Hlebik is a 22‑year‑old female amateur MMA fighter hailing from Texas, competing in the flyweight division (125 lb/56.7 kg). Fighting out of Fortis MMA academy, she made her amateur debut at Tap or Scrap 12 in Victoria, Texas, on August 1, 2025, against Krystal Miller. Klebik impressively scored a first‑round TKO victory just 1 minute and 17 seconds into the bout, securing her first official win.
Beyond her early success inside the cage, Sydney Hlebik has quickly gained attention as a promising prospect in the women’s amateur ranks. Ranked among the top 500 active female fighters in the U.S. pound-for-pound and now demanding attention within the Texas regional scene, she represents the new wave of talent emerging from Fortis MMA. With a strong foundation in striking and the backing of a respected gym, Hlebik’s combination of youth, skill, and momentum suggests she is only beginning to make her mark in the sport.
