🔥 20 DAYS TO GO! 🔥

The fighter introductions continue for PACIFIC COMBAT FIGHT SERIES 2026.

Next up...

🇳🇿 OLI “MAHI MAN” MALTHUS
TEAM NEW ZEALAND

🥋 BJJ / SUBMISSION GRAPPLING
🔥 22W – 10L – 0D
🏆 NZ Grappler North Island Champion – Gold
🏆 ADCC South Pacific Invitational – Gold
🥋 MAI Dojo | Crolin Gracie lineage
👊 Coach: Bira Da Silva Daitx

Oli’s journey into combat sports started after watching UFC 1 and seeing Royce Gracie use Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to overcome much larger opponents.

That was enough to get him onto the mats — and six years later, with four years of competition behind him, he’s bringing that experience to Rarotonga.

For Oli, grappling is as much about control and strategy as strength. He describes BJJ as giving you options — the ability to control an opponent, understand their movement and choose how you respond.

Now the 26-year-old Wellington fighter is preparing to represent Aotearoa New Zealand, MAI Dojo and the wider Crolin Gracie family on an international stage.

And there’s something else he’s looking forward to...

🌴 Competing under the lights in Rarotonga.

Most of Oli’s matches have taken place during the day in tournament settings. Pacific Combat gives him something different — Fight Night atmosphere. Another country. An island crowd.

🔥 THE MAHI MAN IS COMING TO RAROTONGA. 🔥
