Support Michael Babb's Fight Against Colon Cancer

I never thought I’d be asking for help like this, but life can be unpredictable. Today, I’m reaching out because my coach, mentor, and father-figure, Michael Babb, is fighting the toughest battle of his life: Stage IV (4) Colon Cancer. Over the past few months, it has spread to his lungs and liver, and it’s heartbreaking to see the strongest man I know in such a vulnerable state.

Mike has been with me every step of my MMA journey. I lost my father suddenly five years ago and since meeting Mike, he has quickly filled that void in my life. He hasn’t just coach me—he’s transformed my outlook on life, bringing me closer to God and helping me find peace within myself.

We‘ve traveled the world—from Madison Square Garden to the Kingdom of Bahrain.

But now, Mike needs our help. He’s lost over 45 pounds in the past four months, and simple tasks like walking across the room leave him breathless due to the mass pressing on his lungs. He is unable to work while undergoing chemotherapy and other treatments, and the medical bills, rent, food, and home care expenses are overwhelming.

Time is running out, and Mike’s health is deteriorating quickly. We need to act fast to ensure he can continue treatment without the added stress of financial burdens.

Your support can make a real difference. Every dollar raised will go directly to covering Mike’s medical treatments, rent, food, and a home care nurse to assist him during this critical time. Additionally, part of the funds will help with his visa processing, allowing him to stay in the U.S. and continue receiving care. Mike has given so much to his fighters and the sport—now it’s time for us to give back to him.

Mike used to push me and all of his fighters to the limit, but now he’s the one fighting for his life. He’s not just important to me—he’s coached fighters from around the world and is known as one of the best in Dutch kickboxing. Beyond that, he’s touched the lives of countless people with his wisdom, heart, and strength. Your donation, no matter the size, will help ease his burden so he can focus on healing and recovery.
