Joe Solecki (born August 27, 1993) is an American professional mixed martial artist.
Joe states: I got into BJJ at age 6 by accident, I wanted to do karate like the power rangers.
My parents sent my brother for a year or two at first, but we ended up enrolling in a school where the instructor had begun training BJJ and he switched the entire curriculum to grappling by the time I signed up.
In his MMA debut at CFFC 61, he submitted Chris Rollins via rear-naked choke in the first round.
In the main event of Dana White's Contender Series 19 on July 9, 2019, Solecki submitted James Wallace in the first round to pick up his sixth submission win as a professional along with a UFC contract.
