MMA social netowkring site Mmamelee.com has a great interview with York County fighter Justin Scott:

Justin "Skiz" Scott, an amazing talent just 20 years of age is making his pro-debut this Friday night at the Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge III. Justin is a member of team M.A.C.E training out of Central Pennsylvania Mixed Martial Arts Academy who along with teammates Chad Strawbridge and Duane Bastress have been dominating MMA events in PA ever since it became legal. MMA MELEE sat down with Justin to congratulate him and discuss the path MMA has led him down.

MMA MELEE- Congratulation on your successful MMA career. When most 20 year olds are out partying and barely even pondering their future, you work a full-time job and now you're turning pro in the most vigorous sport on the planet, how do you manage to stay focused and keep moving forward?

JUSTIN- Staying focused isn't hard for me these days. My first MMA fight was when I was 18, right away I understood the dedication needed to excel in this sport so I started making sacrifices then. I do miss hanging out with my friends but I don't think I'm missing out on life, MMA has helped me grow up faster. I stay focused by accepting any challenges the world throws my way and then I set goals for myself. I enjoy what I do everyday and I have a good team behind me, I wouldn't have it any other way honestly.

If you want some cool fightwear and don't feel like hopping on the Internet, head over to MACE (Martial Arts with a Combat Emphasis) in Red Lion for the latest Tattoo Fightwear styles. Many of the county's top fighters train at MACE, including Justin Scott, Chad Strawbridge, Duane Bastress, John Andel and Adam Hostetter. The academy is located at 133 W. Broadway (Rt. 74), Red Lion

Krebs took some hard shots in this one and Strawbridge dished 'em out. Mad props to both fighters. Tom and I had a clip of this in our highlight package, but here's the entire fight from cageside.

Chad Strawbridge - who had a thrilling KO victory over Ty Krebs at Central Pennsylvania Warrior Challenge II on July 18 - posted these pics on his facebook page. Props to Ty for battling it out with Chad - that was a brawl.

Talked with WKU Warrior Challenge promoter Mark Jovich last night and he had nothing but good things to say about Friday's event in the Poconos at Pocono Manor.

Mark said there were about 700 people in attendence: "Good crowd, plenty of room, not a bad seat in the house," he said. "I was really happy with the way the evetn went."

Mark gave me a few results from the York area fighters: Brett Myers from George McGinnis' York Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Red Lion won in the first round by ref stoppage. Jimmy "Shrapnel" Chappell also won in the first with a submission, follwing a short, but heated stand-up battle with his opponent. And Chad Strawbridge scored a KO early in the first round. Nice job, guys.

I'll have more infortmation as it becomes available.
