The Next Generation of Thibodaux MMA Talent Takes the Stage
June 21 at Caged Warrior Championship 37 is more than just another fight night—it’s a moment of pride for Thibodaux MMA. Four young fighters—Ty Smith, Corbin Falgout, Paul Hingle IV, and Jack Falgout—will showcase their skill, resilience, and heart as they represent a town known for building warriors from the ground up. These athletes didn’t just show up; they grew up on the mats of Thibodaux MMA. Years of training, discipline, and community support have prepared them for the challenges ahead. Their performances on this stage will be a reflection of the values and hard work that Thibodaux MMA instills in every student who walks through its doors.
Ty Smith: Returning with Momentum
Fresh off a commanding kickboxing victory at CWC 36, Ty Smith is no stranger to the pressure of the spotlight. With a youth MMA background and a dominant grappling record, Ty’s confidence is well-earned. His development as a martial artist was never by accident — it was forged day after day on the mats. Watch his full journey in our tag team spotlight:
🔗 Ty Smith & Corbin Falgout – CWC 37: Grappling Brotherhood
Corbin Falgout: Wrestling His Way to College
Ty’s tag team partner and longtime teammate, Corbin Falgout, has his eyes set on collegiate wrestling success. Recently committed to Huntingdon College, Corbin enters CWC 37 with more than just athletic goals — he’s building a life of discipline and excellence. From youth MMA to his current trajectory, Corbin is proof that training transforms more than performance — it shapes character.
Paul Hingle IV: Unfinished Business
Paul Hingle IV returns to the cage at CWC 37 on a mission to silence doubts and sharpen his path. Facing undefeated Daniel Angelle, Paul steps into his biggest challenge yet with fearless focus. He’s one of the original young lions to grow up at our academy, and his story continues to inspire new students.

🧒 Connor & Maverick: Proud Pre-K Graduates Represent Thibodaux MMA
The excitement of CWC 37 doesn’t stop with the teenagers. Two of our youngest martial artists—Maverick Adams and Connor Elliot, both just six years old—will step onto the stage for a special Brazilian Jiu Jitsu exhibition match. These boys recently graduated from our Pre-K Martial Arts program, and now proudly represent the next wave of Thibodaux MMA talent.
Their match isn’t about winning or losing—it’s about celebrating how far they’ve come. Through structured training in grappling, discipline, and focus, Maverick and Connor have built a foundation many kids their age never experience. Watching them perform on the same night as our older fighters highlights the full spectrum of what’s possible at Thibodaux MMA, from first steps on the mat to full amateur competition.

Built in the Gym, Tested in the Cage
These four young men may be stepping into different matchups, but their foundation is the same — hours of drilling, failing, learning, and overcoming at Next Generation Martial Arts Thibodaux. It’s more than just training. It’s becoming.
They weren’t handed toughness. They earned it. They weren’t born with courage. They practiced it. And their story is one we hope every young martial artist can be part of.
