Stephanie Geltmacher (born August 21, 1990) is an American mixed martial artist and currently she competes in the flyweight division. She has previously competed for Invicta Fighting Championships.

Background[edit]

Aggressive as a child, Geltmacher's father suggested her to start some sort of martial art.[3] She started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of ten and started wrestling in high school.[3] She attended Yakima Valley College for a year and transferred to Oklahoma City University, being an All-American in wrestling in all four years.[3] Not sure what to do after the college, she started training mixed martial arts with her boyfriend who already trained the sport.[3]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

After going 3–1 as an amateur, Geltmacher amassed a record of 2–0 prior signed by Invicta Fighting Championships.[4][3]

Geltmacher made her Invicta debut on July 21, 2018, against Kerri Kenneson, replacing Alexa Conners,[5] at Invicta FC 30.[6] She won the fight by technical knockout.[7]
