life and career

Livia von Plettenberg was born on June 14, 1988 in Vienna. For many years she ran jumping and came just happened to martial arts after in September 2009, a trial lesson in Thai boxing was completed. Since she was enthusiastic about this sport, she stuck with it and gave up show jumping. After just six months, she fought her first tournament, where the 1.57 m tall athlete sometimes competed against much larger opponents. When she lost to a 1.80 m tall opponent, she joked that the size difference in MMA was not so decisive and always kept this in the back of her mind. About a year later, she began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to prepare for an MMA career. Subsequently, she also trained in wrestling . After training in many different martial arts centers, she came to Portland , Oregon , in September 2012 , where she trained on Team Quest under Matt Lindland . In addition, she continued to train in various training facilities around the world. As a kickboxer, the southpaw has completed 18 official fights over the course of her career, of which she won twelve and lost six. In 2011 she became WKF -Profi-European Champion K-1 in the weight class up to 53.2 kg and subsequently took second place in the WKF world rankings in the K-1 up to 53.2 kg. In 2012 she took first place at the Vienna Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Open Championship ; She achieved the same success at the Croatian Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Open Championship 2012 , as well as at the Insight Akxe Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Tournament 2012 .

On June 3, 2012, von Plettenberg completed her first official MMA fight when she faced Fabienne Winzeler at the WFC: Challengers 3 event at Tennis Point Vienna . The native Viennese won this debut fight through a TKO . In January 2013 she won a contract with Invicta FC , one of the leading MMA organizations for female fighters in the United States, and completed her first fight on January 5, 2013. At the event Invicta FC 4: Esparza vs. Hyatt at Memorial Hall in Kansas City , Kansas , she met Joanne Calderwood from Scotland . When after three rounds there was still no winner, a point decision was made unanimously in favor of the Scottish fighter. About six months later, von Plettenberg completed her next fight for Invicta. After she was initially supposed to compete against Laura Sanko , this was changed before the day of the competition, whereupon the American Kathina Lowe became her new opponent. At Invicta FC 6: Cyborg vs. Coenen 2 , which was held on July 13, 2013 at the Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City , Missouri , the Austrian could not prevail again over three rounds and had to wait for the result of the point decision. In this case, the decision fell unanimously on von Plettenberg, who celebrated her first win at Invicta. After that, she did not appear in any further official fight and soon returned to her home country.

Back in Austria she largely withdrew from active martial arts and concentrated more on the fitness training method and the competitive sport CrossFit , in which she was not only active as an athlete, but also as a trainer. As a trainer, she holds the CrossFit Level 1 Certificate and is also certified as a CrossFit Kids Coach . Also after her active career, she finished studying psychology at the University of Vienna .
