Andrew Carpenter joins Australian MMA for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation.

A former South Australian MMA ring announcer and long-time advocate for the sport’s growth in SA, Andrew has been around the scene from the early days. We talk about the evolution of MMA in South Australia, the characters who built it, and where it’s headed next.

Outside the cage, Andrew is a well-known lawyer who has built a reputation pursuing justice in cases involving child sex predators — earning the title “the most hated man by child sex predators.” We discuss how that work shapes his mindset, his resilience, and how it contrasts with his passion for MMA.

A deep dive into law, legacy, and the rise of South Australian MMA.
