Successful Comeback and Jungle 3-0
Monday, October 06, 2008
       October 4th Was a Successful comeback and a good night for Jungle Fight Team that would go 3-0... Opening the Night off at Grays Armory would be Sean-Paul Vellieux who would have a tough fight with Brian Mccroskey of Griffonrawl. Going into the 3rd round Sean-Paul would need a KO with a few seconds left in the fight that is what he would get ... Next up Big John Hawk would come out furious agains Felix Catheline dropping down to the ground he would get Felix's Back and land some big Punches where John Hawk would win by tapout due to Strikes.. Main Event myself Facing Jui-Jitsu Stylist Brandon Pierce. Opening of the fight I would get off a few combonations and a High Kick which he would block but would inform me that it did hurt his arm. Pierce pressed me against the Cage where he would get a takedown I would get back to my feet but again he would get the takedown. I would maintain my composure and pulling him into my guard hiting him with some big punches would rock him and allow my to put a triangle on him. I hit him with more punches and some big elbows cutting him where he would tapout via TRIANGLE due to strikes.... IM BACK!!

Chuck Norris' WCL
Monday, October 10, 2005
       Just returned from Chuck Norris' World Combat League! It was a great show very professional and we were treated very well the whole time. I got there on the 5th WED. Thursday was a busy day filled with interviews,uniform fittings, and pictures. Thursday evening all the teams,staff, etc. got to go out to dinner with Chuck Norris'. They talked about future expansion and plans for the WCL. Friday our team, the Los Angeles Stars got together for a workout. The stars consisted of Ben Brotherton, Craig Oxley, Angie Woolum, James Decore, Carlos Tearney, Derek Panza, and myself. Friday evening we went downtown with friend and went to a very nice steakhouse. Downtown Dallas was very crazy due to the Oklahoma vs. Texas game. Saturday We arrived at the Dallas Convention Center around 3:30 pm for some walk throughs and warm-ups. A little after 7p was kickoff and I was picked to fight first! My opponent was Peyton Russell, he was very tough and a classy guy in and out of the ring. It was a very fast pace and towards the end Peyton was throwing a spinning backfist which landed with his forearm and would split the top of my head open. He would be disqaulified which was a close round up till that point. I was penalized a point for holding. Well I can at least say I fought the first fight in the WCL. Overall I was not totally happy with my performance I was a little too stiff. But it was a new set up for everyone. I hope it will grow and become one of the top team sports!! I have alot of fights on the table right now so i am hoping for a title or a few more title opportunities. I want to thank my coach Mr. Lorenzo Scott as always putting the "BRICKS" on my hands and I know alot of my team enjoyed him as well. I can't wait for the next WCL and hope to get that head kick KO next time. Thanks alot to everyone else as well friends, family, and sponsors!!

Heavyweight Gladiators-The Return
Sunday, June 05, 2005
       Friday morning I took off with PKW to the Heavyweight Gladiators show in Milwaukee, Wi. Our own Alex Beck was fighting and I was going to work his corner. We arrived about 5p and just hung out in our room we did not realize that early the amateurs were fighting so we missed them. But at 7pm Alex was ready to go to the locker room to get warmed up. It was great to be in the same room as the legend Manson "The Master Blaster" Gibson. Alex fought a 6'7" giant but he easily beat him. And in the third did even better when I told him not to let him lay on him so he moved out more and stopped him by tko 1:19 3rd round.
