The Greek Assassin's last stand in MMA

Chris Kelades is 99.99 percent it will be his last professional fight. The 43-year old holds a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and will be entering the ring one last time this coming Saturday night in Dartmouth. For the last few years, the Greek Assassin (as he’s known) has been working as a commentator for Fight League Atlantic — a mixed martial arts promotional league based in Halifax. Ten years ago, Kelades was a last-minute call up for the card at an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in Halifax. A fight he won in a unanimous decision. And the last time he fought in Nova Scotia. He also spent time fighting overseas in the M-1 Global before the pandemic put a halt to his fighting career. With a professional record of 15 wins and four losses, Kelades will be taking on PEI’s Morgan Rhynes in the main event at Zatzman Sports Complex in Dartmouth. This will be his first fight since 2019. Recently, he took time out of his training to speak with SaltWire’s Sheldon MacLeod.
