There’s no doubt about it, Sammy-Jo Luxton is MMA’s next big Instagram star. As the Muay Thai fighter continues to climb up the mixed martial arts ranks by making easy work of whoever the Professional Fighters League puts in front of her, she also keeps adding to her growing social media following.
Each fight camp and each win she notches is followed up by a celebration from the “Ghetto Cinderella” that is designed to grab attention. It’s how she’s been navigating her way from the world of Muay Thai and kickboxing into mixed martial arts.
After a melanoma diagnosis and surgery delayed Luxton’s PFL debut last year, she’s won two straight fights for the fighting promotion. The flyweight’s latest fight against Agata Truskolaska, which took place earlier this month, lasted just 18 seconds.
Luxton landed a head kick early in the first-round that she followed with several combinations that weren’t answered by her opponent. The referee stepped in and ended the fight.
Following her second straight victory in the PFL cage, Luxton was off to Thailand to celebrate. While there, she returned to her “walking around weight” and announced that she was “fat and happy.”
Prior to heading back home for her next fight camp, she shared what “fat and happy” looked like in her bikini from an undisclosed beach in Thailand.
She also did some promoting of her exclusive content, and you can’t blame her for that. The trip out to Thailand isn’t going to pay for itself.

When a commenter asked when her next fight was, Luxton replied, “soon, just waiting for it to be announced… but it’s a big one.”
As if kicking cancer’s ass before her first PFL fight wasn’t big enough. Not to mention, she also finished her second opponent in a mere seconds following the unexpected death of her grandmother.
Obviously, the stage hasn’t been too big for Luxton to handle up to this point. Did the big boys over at the UFC give her a call? Time will tell, and if they haven’t already called, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
