More About “The Sniper”
A self-described “country boy that likes cartoons,” Ricky Rainey is chasing dreams and titles. From humble beginnings and a life spent devoted to martial arts, he is focused on one thing, and one thing only: coming out on top. In the competitive world of MMA, where it is often ruled by a kill-or-be-killed mentality, one has to fight for glory. Ricky Rainey gets this, and he is determined to stop at nothing to ‘take what’s his.’
With aggression to spare, kicks that have been cultivated to utmost precision, and the ability to strike with the most exact accuracy, this is one MMA star who was made for the fight. 32-year-old Ricky Rainey, AKA “The Sniper” hails from Gastonia, North Carolina. A welterweight who trains with the Renegade Fighting Systems association, currently Rainey boasts an impressive 11 wins, to 4 losses, we are quite excited to have this talented, determined individual fighting on behalf of Team VaporFi for Bellator 156.
At 6’1”, 171 lbs, The Sniper is a serious title contender. His pro career kicked off in 2011, and by 2013, he had amassed a record of 8 wins and 2 losses; quite impressive for just a 2-year run. He first fought with a variety of different promotions, among them Xtreme Fighting Championships. Since 2014, however, Rainey has fought with Bellator, a promotion known for its high-energy competition as well as ability to stage incredible matches. Throughout his career, he has demonstrated exemplary abilities in the cage and has been known to handle pressure exceptionally well. He is a steady and solid finisher, and his signature move is the TKO, which has worked quite effectively to get the job done when he’s needed it most.
