SELINA “Dead” WONG
News Writer
selina@fighters.com
Despite degrees in Classics (Latin and Ancient Greek language and literature) and classical training in piano, Selina is just a girl who likes to watch guys beat on each other.
A deep love of the sport developed while watching WWF and Stampede Wrestling as a child with her father and brother. And Bloodsport remains a nostalgic favorite of hers.
An 18-month stint in Russia has only enhanced her appreciation for “Last Emperor” Fedor Emelianenko, as she smugly (and slowly) reads Russian articles about mixed martial arts.
Besides MMA, Selina’s interests include zombiewalks, opera, Burning Man, and Stephen Colbert. She also trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai.
