Phil Davis unleashes the gnp.

Sherdog has a "prospect watch" story on LionHeart Fighters' Phil Davis, whose fights have been chronicled on this blog in detail:
The globalization of mixed martial arts and its frenetic pace makes for easy parallels between the sport and society. Phil Davis has trouble with the pace, though not in the way one might think.

The most difficult part of the four-time collegiate All-American wrestler's transition to MMA has been the wait.

"In wrestling, you wrestle every week, twice a week," says Davis, who starred at Penn State University. "In MMA, you fight like every three months."

LionHeart Fighters, for those of you who don't know, is a big-time MMA academy in State College. Established last year by Chad Dubin, the academy has gropomed such MMA fighetrs as Phil Davis, Paul Bradley, Lou Armezzani, Dave Sachs, and York County's own Biff Walizer.

Today I received an update from Chad, so here goes:

Congrats to Lou Armezzani who was victorious in his professional Debut winning by submission in :37 seconds of round 1 at the Iron Will Fighting Championships in Johnstown, PA.

Next up for Lou will be an exciting return to his hometown to fight in Scranton, PA on June 12th. Stay tuned for more details.
