Elaina Maxwell 

MMA - Mixed Martial Arts Fighter

Elaina has always been an athlete of some kind because she loves competition. She started playing soccer in grade school in Salt Lake City, Utah with her twin sister, Ila.

Yes, Elaina is the older twin by three minutes. After moving to Muscle Shoals, Alabama due to her father's work transfer, she picked up her love for volleyball in middle school, which she played year-round for twelve years.

Having no martial arts experience whatsoever, Elaina started martial arts in somewhat of a strange way because she initially used kickboxing as an off-season workout for volleyball and track and field when it was the latest fad in workout trends. She fell in love with the contact, intensity, and competition of San Shou, which is Chinese Kickboxing.
