32-year-old American Al Iaquinta fights out of Garden City in New York, representing the Serra-Longo Fight Team. He has a background competing in kickboxing, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and that makes him the well-rounded fighter we see today, a man comfortable with all aspects of the game. His amateur MMA record saw him win all his 14 bouts before those talents were noticed and he was invited to move to the professional ranks.

Since trading trophies for pay days, Al Iaquinta has won 14 of 19 outings, with seven of his victories coming by way of knockout, six by decision and one by submission. He has suffered four losses to date and those are made up of three submission defeats and one decision, there’s also a draw on his record. The latter came back in 2009 when Al was deducted a point for fence grabbing, although it failed to derail his progress.
