Jackson Parish native Nate Blundell continued his rise in the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) this past weekend when he won his American Kombat Alliance (AKA) bout against Cam White in Bossier City. 

Adding to the glory of Jackson Parish was that another local resident, Kerry Mullins, refereed Blundell’s fight and many others, while when not being in the “octagon” sat along ringside to judge other bouts.  

One of the rising stars of the AKA circuit, Blundell became a mainstay in the South’s premier MMA promotion company events in 2025, fighting in Lake Charles, LA in November and in Ruston, LA this past July. Prior to signing with AKA, in April of 2024 Blundell won four gold medals in the American Grappling Federation Tournament and three more gold medals in the Ground Fighters Union Tourney four months later.
