Members of Team Cruz
I wanted to send a shout-out to Team Cruz from Louisville, KY. Why, you ask? Well, New Cumberland-based MMA clothing company, Tattoo Fightwear, sponsors the team. That's good enough for me. Besides, Kentucky is where local boy Biff Walizer got his first pro win.
The fight team, run out of American Martial Arts Academy in Louisville, KY was started by Mike "Rock" Cruz, and features just about every facet of MMA: boxing, kickboxing, muay Thai, Gracie jiu-jitsu, wrestling, judo, and sambo.
As for fighters, you've got the Fearsome Ferguson brothers, Bruce and Josh, a.k.a. "The Boogie Man" and "Taz," plus a bunch of other fighters with cool nicknames like Daniel "The Epidemic" Farmer, Phillip "The Rooster" Perkins, Ben "The Drill" Sargeant, Jin "Pretty Boy" Choi, Rob "Ironman" Smith, and Cory "Madman" Leonard. The guys have been racking up the wins, as well as the championship belts and medals. Nice.
Here's The Rooster doing a flying triangle:
