“Be loyal to your dreams.”

Olympic Wrestler. Pro MMA Fighter. Entrepreneur. Advocate. Human.

For the past 26 years, since the age of 7, Mahmoud Sebie has been chasing his dreams—fighting through obstacles, pushing through fears, and refusing to let go of the vision he set for himself as a kid. Along the way, he never imagined that simply staying loyal to his own dreams would end up inspiring millions of young people with beginnings just like his to stay loyal to theirs too.

Mahmoud is Egypt’s first-ever Greco-Roman Olympic wrestling captain to step into the world of professional MMA. He represented Egypt at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and later became a Team USA athlete, competing in the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials. His career highlights include a Pan-American silver medal, a finalist finish at the U.S. Nationals, and a top-5 placement at the World Ranking event in Zagreb. He’s also earned partnerships with global brands—Nike, Adidas, Celsius, Marriott, Boise, Benghati—brands that see in him the same values of resilience, authenticity, and impact.

Beyond competition, Mahmoud’s depth in training and service is rare. He’s trained with the U.S. Marines Wrestling Team, and has even trained Marine Soldiers in special combat and mindset skills, bridging his athletic discipline with real-world applications.

In MMA, Mahmoud has tested himself in top promotions:

Community & Advocacy

Mahmoud’s impact reaches far beyond competition. Deeply connected to his roots, he regularly visits and supports the Children’s Cancer Hospital Egypt (57357), providing encouragement and funding for children battling life-threatening illnesses. His compassion for youth drives him to mentor aspiring athletes and professionals, guiding them toward excellence with honesty, discipline, and heart.

He also leads initiatives that use sport as a bridge between cultures, partnering with community organizations to develop training camps, motivational workshops, and outreach programs for children and refugees in both Egypt and the United States. Mahmoud’s life work continues to reflect his belief that true champions uplift others — that victory means nothing unless it opens doors for those behind you.
