Sam Kleege 

Sam Kleege was born in Long Island on February 13th, 1990, but spent the majority of his life growing up in Terre Haute, Indiana. Sam describes Terre Haute as "a place with nothing better to do." Therefore, he often passed the time with close friends in recreational wrestling. He picked up boxing at about 10 years of age and continued training till he was 18 at which time he left to Brooklyn, NY to study Film Studies at Brooklyn College. His training was then put on hold. 

Sam graduated from Brooklyn College in May of 2012 with a BA in Film Studies and continued to pursue his passion in film where he then continued working as an online news talent from a career he'd won over in a viral contest the year before graduation. It wasn’t till March of 2013 that he started training again, this time with a serious interest in MMA, out of Ultimate Athletics in Ithaca, NY. He entered his first amateur fight in Gladius Fights IV in the Middleweight division as an underdog against Premiere's Ryan Nesbitt and won with an impressive arm triangle. Sam plans to continue exploring his interest in MMA through amateur fights for now.
