Stephanie Geltmacher (born August 21, 1990) is an American mixed martial artist and currently she competes in the flyweight division. She has previously competed for Invicta Fighting Championships.
Aggressive as a child, Geltmacher's father suggested her to start some sort of martial art.[3] She started training Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of ten and started wrestling in high school.[3] She attended Yakima Valley College for a year and transferred to Oklahoma City University, being an All-American in wrestling in all four years.[3] Not sure what to do after the college, she started training mixed martial arts with her boyfriend who already trained the sport.[3]
