Tecia has been involved in mixed martial arts since she was only three years old, when she started Tae Kwon Do training. After years of hard work and devotion, she obtained a black belt when she was 15 years old. As she got older, Tecia’s passion for combat sports only grew in intensity, and she commenced an amateur career in Muay Thai, and in 20 matches, she recorded 16 victories and only four lost matches.
When it comes to the MMA, Tecia has won three titles, MMA Solutions, US Freedom Fighter Championship and American Battle Championships, before being signed to the Invicta Fighting Championships.
Tecia made her debut on the 6th October 2012, fighting against Kaiyana Rain as a part of the Invicta FC 3: Penne vs. Sugiyama event. She defeated her opponent and successfully continued with a win over Paige VanZant on the 5th January 2013 at the Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt. After her second win, she fought Rose Namajunas at the Invicta FC 6: Coenen vs. Cyborg for her third straight victory, and Tecia continued to secure her fourth straight win, this time fighting Felice Herrig.
Following the successful start of her MMA career, Tecia was chosen as one of the female fighters for The Ultimate Fighter. She was a part of the Melendez team, but she lost in her first bout to Randa Markos. However, she was brought back into the tournament, following an injury to Justine Kish, but was sent to the team Pettis. This time Tecia won the match against Bec Rawlings, but Tecia could only do so much, as she then lost to Carla Esparza in the quarter-final round.
Following the end of her stint in the tournament, Tecia officially became a part of the UFC promotion and made a debut at The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned Finale, fighting Angela Magaña. She won by unanimous decision to compile a record of five straight wins,and continued with success as she defeated her next opponent, Angela Hill, at the UFC 188, and then was named a winner in a fight against Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger at the UFC 194. Her first and only loss so far happened in April 2016, when she fought against Rose Namajunas at the UFC on Fox: Teixeira vs. Evans. Nevertheless, she quickly bounced back and lined up two victories, first over Bec Rawlings, and then Juliana Lima, with the latter one being proclaimed Performance of the Night, which only increased Tecia’s net worth.
Her next fight is scheduled for the 2nd December 2017 at the UFC 218, when she will face Michelle Waterson.
Regarding her personal life, Tecia is engaged to Raquel Pennington, also a professional mixed martial artist, who is currently signed to UFC Bantamweight division.
