Back with a vengeance, Tom and I had a special guest this week, George McGinnis, owner and trainer at York Mixed Martial Arts Academy. The three of us break down the Kimbo fight and subsequent fall-out, as well as how York fighters did at Gladiator Fight Club. George added some great (and much-needed) insight into the fight game, rather than just a couple schmoes like Tom and me talking.
Here's Lou getting his hands taped by LionHeart BJJ instructor Jeff Rockwell prior to Lou's fight at Gladiator Fight Club. Thanks to Jerod Phillips from Tap or Sleep (notice Lou's shirt?) for providing the photo.
Lou's blood - and some of his opponent's - on his shorts after his hard-fought win. Thanks again for the photo, Jerod.
Here's the latest from LionHeart:
Congradulation to Lou Armezzani who won by first round TKO at The Gladiator Fight Championships in Virgina this weekend to improve his amateur record to 3-1. Lou seems to have recovered just fine from the elbow injury which kept him out of his last fight. Nice work Louie.
Paul Bradley is looking to extend his unblemished Professional record to 7-0 this coming Saturday Oct 4th in Cleveland, OH. Ticket and venue information can be found at www.naafs.tv. Come out and support Paul as he continues his impressive streak.
Video footage of Phil Davis and Matt Kocher's fights from Sept 19th can be found on www.purefight.org and will also be on our website soon.
Thanks to everyone who came out to our VIP event this weekend. We had a great time hanging out with everyone and look forward to seeing more of you at future LionHeart fights and events.
Keep Swinging
