Career[edit]
At the age of 15, Ray Sadeghi and his family moved to New York City. Shortly after moving to America, he found himself on his own struggling to eat. In a recent interview with Respect, Sadeghi spoke of how these early life struggles as a teenager encouraged him to be a fighter and protect people. In 2009, before becoming a bodyguard, he went to medical school in Poland and became a dentist.[2] In 2013, he became a professional bodyguard to Floyd Mayweather Jr.[citation needed]
He is also known for being outspoken to the media about MMA fighter Conor McGregor. In July 2017, Sadeghi interviewed with American writer Elie Seckbach on McGregor's fighting abilities.[3] In October 2017, he gained national attention by being outspoken about a possible Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor rematch.[4] Early in 2018, Sadeghi and his fellow bodyguard Greg LaRosa, who call themselves the Brixx Brothers, developed a Cannabidiol oil to help cancer patients.[5] In October 2018, in an exclusive video by TMZ, Sadeghi gained national attention by saying he would have fought the late Bruce Lee in order to protect Mayweather.[6]
He fought an exhibition boxing bout in the co-main event of Super Rizin versus Kōji "Kouzi" Tanaka. He lost the fight by technical knockout in the 3rd round.
