Genah Fabian (born September 5, 1989) is a New Zealand kickboxer and mixed martial artist.

Background

Said by Fabian in an interview, "I was born and raised in West Auckland as a kid and then we moved into central Auckland when I went to High School.  I went to Auckland Girls Grammar - AGGs (laughs) and when I was 19 I moved to Sydney, Australia and was back and forth to NZ - my family are all still here and are based Central, so it's handy.  

I'm Samoan, Maori, German - my mum's Samoan/German and my dad's Maori.  My mum's family are from the island of Upolu.  My grandmother's from Lufilufi, Lefaga and Saleimoa and my dad's Tainui, which is Waikato."[3]

As a youth, Fabian found early success on the athletics track qualifying for the junior Olympics as well as becoming a competitive rower when she lived in Australia.[4] At 19, she moved to Sydney and was working at media organization News Limited, after finishing up in a sales and marketing role at Fairfax in New Zealand.[5]

In 2011, Fabian was involved in a serious car accident which left her home bound for about three months in Sydney. After becoming depressed due to being home bound, a friend told her about going to a muay thai training camp in Thailand. There she fell in love with the sport and relocated to Thailand.[6][7][4] Fabian's greatest achievement in sports so far is winning the WMC middleweight title.[8][9]

She is a cousin of City Kickboxing head coach Eugene Bareman.[4]

Mixed martial arts career

Professional Fighters League

2019 season

After picking up a win on the regional Australian scene in 2015, Fabian returned to MMA for the 2019 Professional Fighters League season. In her first bout, she faced Bobbi Jo Dalziel at PFL 1 on May 9, 2019. She lost the bout via unanimous decision.[10]

Fabian faced Moriel Charneski on July 11, 2019, at PFL 4. She won the bout in the first round by dropping Moriel and finishing her on the ground.[11]

Fabian was scheduled to face Kayla Harrison at PFL 7 on October 11, 2019, but Fabian was forced to pull out of the bout due to illness and issues with her weight cut.[12]

2021 season

Fabian made her return against Laura Sanchez at PFL 3 on May 6, 2021.[13] She won the bout via unanimous decision.[14]

Fabian faced Julija Pajić on June 25, 2021, at PFL 6.[15] She won the bout in the second round after dropping Pajić with a head kick and then finishing her with punches.[16][17]

Fabian faced Kayla Harrison in the Semifinals off the Women's Lightweight tournament on August 19, 2021, at PFL 8.[18] She lost the fight via TKO in the first round.[19]

2022 season

Fabian faced Julia Budd on May 6, 2022 at PFL 3.[20] At weigh-ins, Fabian missed weight for the bout, officially weighing in at 160.8 pounds, 4.8 pounds over the lightweight non-title fight limit. She was fined 20 percent of her purse, and was rendered ineligible to win playoff points. She was given a walkover loss, and was penalized one point in the PFL standings. Budd received a walkover win regardless of bout outcome.[21] Despite this, Fabian won the bout on the scorecards of all three judges, improving her professional record to 5-2, despite officially losing the bout under the structure of the PFL.[22]

Fabian faced Larissa Pacheco on July 1, 2022 at PFL 6.[23] She lost the bout via TKO stoppage in the first round.[24]

Professional Boxing fights

In March 2021, Fabian made her professional boxing debut against Ariane Nicholson.[25] Unfortunately due to a accidental headbut, Nicholson received a bad cut which forced the referee to stop the fight, ending in a no contest.[26]
