Database
The roster
86 recordsTwo groups, kept deliberately separate. New Mexicans were born or raised here. NM-connected fighters came from somewhere else and built, based or camped a career in New Mexico gyms. Both belong in the state's fight history; only one group is ours to claim. Licensed professional wrestlers are not in this directory at all — they have their own section.
New Mexican — 67 NM-connected — 19 † record unconfirmed or disputed Licence only no career reporting yet — 25
26 of these fighters appear in the New Mexico Athletic Commission's licence roster, pulled 16 September 2026. Every licence in that roster is for licence year 2025 and expired 31 December 2025 — the commission has not yet posted a 2026 year, so a licence here means "last licensed in 2025", not "licensed today". 25 entries come from that roster and nothing else: no record, no division, no career history. They are marked Licence only and are the reporting queue.
