Amisviiksi Tolonen started his professional MMA career at age 20, and became 2-0.

The son of Viiksi Tolonen. When Tarmo Heiskanen prematurely retired due to other business commitments, Viiksi was devastated to see his good friend leave and began drinking. He was violent towards his family and lost his focus. That's when Amisviiksi denounced him, shaved his mustache and moved to LA to train at Convicted Fight Club, where he set his sights to restore his family's name in MMA.

Tolonen would return to MMA 8 years later, at the age of 30, with Superstar manager Chris Karter at his side.

He would sign with EVO, still with a 2-0 professional record, which many MMA fans questioned.

Tolonen would not disappoint, promising to be the next P4P best, and coming through with a huge TKO win in his debut in EVO and return to the MMA world. Tolonen would then lose a highly controversial fight with top ranked Zbynek Taticzek, but quickly bounced back with wins over Russell Lynn & Charlie Murphy. His record now stood at 5-1, still in EVO.

Next up was Jaska Jalovaara, The #1 contender at the time. After a back and forth fight, that could have went either way, again the judges refused to side with Tolonen. Tolonen vowed to not let this get to him, as he experienced much tougher things in his hard life.

Tolonen again jumped back into the mix, beating top ranked Einar Magn, and submitting top ranked Brian Donnelly. He now has a huge rematch with the last man to defeat him, Jaska Jalovaara. The winner will most likely be next in line for the EVO Middleweight Title, which would make absolute history because it would be only Tolonen's 11th MMA fight.

Following his victory over Brian Donnelly, he joined The TWGC, in division 1. Tolonen dominated, going 5-0 beating 3 BJJ Black belts and 2 BJJ Red belts. No one could move this unstoppable force, and in the whole tournament, Tolonen only gave up 4 points in total to his opponents, which is incredible. Tolonen proved not only is his stand up dynamic and outstanding, not only that his chin is un-knockoutable, but that he has possibly the best ground game in the world at 185lbs.

Congrats to Amisviiksi Tolonen, what a fighter, I really wish he was my guy LOL
