An American-born Russian mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and a former world champion, boxer, and submission grappler Jeffrey William Monson has publicly announced his conversion to Islam.
The athlete, aged 53, shared this personal moment in a widely viewed video clip on June 20. In the video, he recited the Shahadah, the Islamic declaration of faith, under the guidance of a scholar at an Islamic center in Moscow.

Following the event Monson remarked during a press conference, “This journey has been one of profound transformation”. He aso said, In recent years, I’ve been on a quest to find meaning and direction in my life, and I’ve discovered that Islam deeply aligns with my core values and beliefs. Embracing Islam has brought me a profound sense of tranquility and fulfillment, filling the void I’ve long sought to overcome. This has been an incredibly rewarding journey for me.
Monson, who was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, is well-known for his mixed martial arts career and his accomplishments in jiu-jitsu, where he has won world championship. He made it clear that his decision to convert to Islam came after much reflection and research into different theological ideologies.
