Ever wonder where MMA recruiters find talent? Some head to West Perrine Florida and grab a seat in DADA 5000’s yard. Billy Corben is one of the best documentary directors out there and one of my personal favorites. So far the reviews are awesome and …
If you haven’t heard, UFC 168 is this Saturday and among the incredibly stacked fight card is one of our own…John Howard. John is an incredibly gifted fighter and along with Bill “Sugar” Traft holds the honor of giving the dead bomber a beating….
Check out this interview from over the summer before his fight at the TD Garden…
This kid is well rounded, as all MMA fighters need to be but you can’t help to notice his heavy hands which seem to be the trademark of any Boston bred fighter. His Muay Thai is strong and he works well in close quarters which makes him deadly coming off the clinch….he’s fun to watch!
John didn’t have it easy growing up but never let that become an excuse. He worked his ass off and carved out a spot for himself in the UFC…twice!
John fights like a Dot Rat and I want everyone to show him some support Saturday night!
Give him a shout on Twitter https://www.twitter.com/JohnDoomsday

Take Urijah Faber….this kid is a mixed martial artist who held a belt for a while in the WEC before they got purchased by the UFC. He became somewhat famous for his trademark long hair. Recently his sister got into a bad car accident and needed brain surgery. So what does Urijah do? He shaves off his trademark locks to show solidarity with his sister who had her head shaved for surgery. Just a solid move on his part so his sister wouldn’t feel so alone through the rehab process.

So I’m a huge boxing/mma fan. It’s not really a macho thing….it’s the oldest form of competition on the planet. I think both boys and girls should equally learn at a young age to take care of themselves. Now I didn’t take this stance on …
