Matt Gifford
Fighter
Yo! My name is Matt, and I first saw a Buhurt match when I went to a "May 4th Star Wars Fight Night" at Nashville Armored Combat back in 2022. I was immediately hooked, and I signed up for classes that same weekend. Prior to this, my only fighting experience was Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, I guess? Haha, I came to this sport completely new. I've been training since then, and fighting in armor for about 1.5 years. My preferred loadout is an Arming Sword and Punch Shield, and I love the endurance required in a Profight. I just aim to keep improving, and hopefully, I'll be capable of competing on a national level someday.
I'm still assembling my kit, but it will be a fairly standardized Western kit with a Spanish Cabasset helmet.
