Brett Myers sprawling on a shoot attempt from brother and trainer George McGinnis.
Brett "Night Crawler" Myers, of the York Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Red Lion is set to fight at the next Warrior Challenge scheduled to take place next Friday, June 26, in the Poconos. Myers was originally to fight at the Central Warrior Challenge debut in April, but did not due to his trainer (George McGinnis) pulling him from the card due to ongoing scheduling conflicts.
Myers (1 - 0 - 0 ) is an accomplished and well-respected ground fighter in the York County/Central PA area, and is looking to showcase his skills next Friday while also having plans to compete in a few local events. Myers won his amateur debut in Virginia in September 2008 with a triangle-armbar combination.
According to McGinnis, "I hated to have to pull Brett from the first event seeing as how it was literally in our own back yard, but with it being Mr. (Mark) Jovich's first event, and the athletic commission seeming to make him jump through pyro hoop's, it just made the most sense for us to just take a sideline approach and let some of the dust settle from all the 'MMA in PA' madness."
Ted's Take: Well, I'm glad it was able to be worked out for Brett to get on the Poconos event and I hope we see him again at more local shows ... Hey George, if Brett pulls off another quick sub, would it be too much to ask to get him in the Wisehaven show on July 18? Whattayathink?
