Shameek Harvey’s win at NFC 186 is another reminder that resilience is one of the most important traits in combat sports. Congratulations to Harvey on capturing the NFC Flyweight Championship and adding yet another major accomplishment to his growing résumé. His journey has not been a straight line, which makes this moment even more meaningful.
As an amateur, Harvey came up short in his attempt to claim the Fight For It amateur title. As a professional, he faced another setback at Fury FC 87. But instead of letting those moments define him, he kept building, kept learning, and kept pushing forward. Over the last year and a half, Harvey has found the formula that works for him.
In that span, he has now claimed two professional championships: first the Fight For It 125-pound professional title, and now the NFC Flyweight title. That kind of turnaround speaks to growth, patience, and belief in the process. Once again, congratulations to the champ, Shameek Harvey.
