Rachel Lowe Ram At The Fights interview on Scrap Super Fights

The Rachel Lowe Ram At The Fights interview for MILLIONS covered Lowe’s plans for Scrap Super Fights 7 on November 22, IBJGF world in December and Toro Cup on December 20. She also told me why grappling has become a bigger part of her MMA career and what fans should expect from a fighter nicknamed The Relentless.

What did Rachel Lowe say about IBJGF world and the pan American in Mexico?

Rachel Lowe plans to compete at IBJGF world in December, alongside a schedule that also includes MMA and grappling. She said her preparation for that event was not yet in full swing: after returning from her immediate competition commitments, she intended to focus on jujitsu and get ready for Scrap Super Fights as well.

Preparing for IBJGF world in December

Lowe was still training and taking jujitsu classes when she could. She did not describe a completed camp or claim that she had shifted all her attention to the December event. Instead, she distinguished between staying active in training and reaching the point where preparation for a particular competition becomes her main focus.

Competing at the pan American in Mexico

The schedule follows a recent international trip. Lowe said she had returned from Mexico in September after competing at the pan American. Asked whether competing abroad was new to her, she pointed to that trip rather than treating her next overseas tournament as a first.

When I suggested that she had become a full-time competitor, Lowe answered, “Apparently. I don't know how I signed up for that but I guess this is my life right.” Her response captured how quickly one commitment has followed another, without suggesting that she has settled on a single kind of competition.

What are Rachel Lowe’s plans for Scrap Super Fights 7 and Toro Cup?

Rachel Lowe plans to compete at Scrap Super Fights 7 on November 22 and at Toro Cup on December 20. She knew who her prospective Scrap Super Fights opponent was, though she had not met her, and said she would study more footage when her attention shifted directly to that matchup.

Scouting the Scrap Super Fights opponent

Lowe said her opponent was also competing on the Scrap Super Fights card. She had seen a couple of reels the other competitor posted on Instagram but had not gone deeply into her footage. Lowe thought she could find videos of super fights if she looked for them; she expected that work to come later, once the matchup became her more immediate focus.

Another match at Toro Cup

December 20 brings a separate grappling commitment at Toro Cup. Lowe confirmed that match when I asked about the date. She did not give a detailed breakdown of its opponent or describe a specific strategy for it, so her account of the near-term calendar was more concrete than any prediction about how those matches would unfold.

The commitments also require her to divide her attention. Lowe said she was still getting to jujitsu classes when possible and expected to concentrate on jujitsu and Scrap Super Fights after returning from travel. For now, she described preparation as something that would sharpen as each event drew closer.

How did Rachel Lowe’s karate background lead her toward grappling?

Rachel Lowe started karate at 16 because her brothers were signing up and she wanted to keep up with them. She entered MMA as a striker, but said that relationship has changed: rather than treating grappling only as a supporting skill, she has found herself gravitating toward it.

Starting karate with her brothers

Lowe described a big family and brothers who were about to begin karate. “You can't go learn how to fight and then come back and beat me up. I got to hang in there with you guys,” she recalled thinking. They ended up starting around the same time, but Lowe said she was the one who stuck with it.

Moving from striking toward grappling

Her original path into MMA was through striking. Lowe observed that some wrestlers and grapplers come to MMA and fall in love with striking; for her, the change worked in reverse. “I went into MMA as a striker and seemed to kind of gravitate towards the grappling a little bit more actually,” she said.

That shift does not mean she has disowned karate. Lowe said she is proud of that background and has kept a karate reference in her Instagram handle. At the same time, she believes her current abilities are broader than the striker label suggests: “I think I'm more well rounded than people give me credit for.”

What motivates Rachel Lowe to keep competing?

Rachel Lowe said her motivation now comes chiefly from testing herself, rather than proving something to other people. She described competition as an enduring part of her character and said she looks for new challenges that let her set goals, push herself and find out whether she can meet or exceed them.

It was not a question she pretended to have solved completely. Lowe said people often ask what drives her, and sometimes she does not have a neat answer for why she wants it so badly. What she does know is that she needs an outlet for her competitive instincts.

She also drew a distinction between earlier and present motivations. There was a time, she said, when she was probably trying to prove herself to others. Now the test is personal: she wants to know whether she can do difficult things she has set out to do. Moving among MMA, grappling and tournaments gives her different ways to take that test.

Her answer was about more than collecting dates on a calendar. Lowe spoke of setting a goal, meeting it and then trying to exceed it. That helps explain why she continues accepting new competitive commitments even as she acknowledges that preparing for each one requires a change in focus.

How was Rachel Lowe preparing for her tournament in Georgia?

Rachel Lowe called the upcoming tournament in Georgia the biggest challenge available to her, saying the best amateur fighters in the world would meet there. She described a multi-day format with three three-minute rounds in each amateur fight, and said her place in the bracket depended on who received a bye.

The bracket and protective equipment

Depending on the byes, Lowe expected to start in either the round of 16 or the quarterfinals. She explained that a competitor who advanced would fight a semifinal on the next day and a final on the day after that. The fights would use bubble gloves and chin guards, adding padding to the format.

Travel and competition routine

Lowe expected to leave on an overnight flight. She described nine hours to her first layover and another four hours of travel afterward, and planned to sleep for much of the overnight leg. Asked about pre-competition rituals, she did not call her habits a ritual but said she makes deliberate choices to help herself feel prepared.

Those choices include the food she eats, the structure of her warm-up, the music she listens to and the people around her. “It's all very planned out,” she said. She did not offer a particular meal or playlist as a universal formula; her point was that the details of her own preparation are intentional.

What did Rachel Lowe say about her nickname, The Relentless?

Rachel Lowe said The Relentless is a recently given nickname that she thinks will stick for MMA because it fits her fighting style. For fans watching Scrap Super Fights 7, her promise was straightforward: she would put on a show, refuse to back down and keep pressing the action.

When I asked what viewers could expect on November 22, Lowe did not make a prediction about a result or describe a particular finish. She answered in terms of effort and approach: “I'm gonna put on a show. I don't back down.” The nickname, she said, defines that approach well.

Lowe gave the clearest description of what she means by The Relentless:

So you will not see a moment where I am not pressing the action.

That promise connects her account of her current style to the rest of her schedule. Whether discussing a grappling commitment, an amateur tournament or her MMA identity, Lowe returned to the same idea of seeking a challenge and staying engaged in it. She presented the nickname as a description of how she intends to compete, not as a claim about a future result.
