Jerod Phillips of Tap or Sleep fightwear made this video about James "Binky" Jones in honor of Binky's recent birthday. An instructor at Baltimore's Ground Control MMA academy, Binky has fought in numerous organizations all over the world. Also known as "The Baltimore Submission Machine," Binky's strongest suit is his ground game. Most recently, he headlined the inaugural Shogun Fights at Baltimore's First Mariner Arena, winning by unanimous decision. Promoted by Ground Control owner John Rallo, the event was Maryland's first since the sport was legalized.

He put together Only The Strong, and now we have the second in the series by Jerod Phillips, owner of Tap or Sleep fightwear.

Here's a highlight video of Philly's Eddie Alvarez, the reigning Bellator lightweight champ, made by Jerod Phillips, owner of Tap or Sleep, a Hanover-based mma clothing company.

Just talked with Jerod Phillips of mma fightwear company Tap or Sleep. He was at PA Fighting Championship last night in Harrisburg and passed along a few of the results:

Jay Haas of Hanover Academy of Mixed Martial Arts (and his own school in Lewisberry) got a TKO win against Michael Bunyamanhop. Jay had Bunyamanhop mounted and was raining down punches, Jerod said.

Another Hanover fighter, Kevin Flinchbaugh, also scored a first-round TKO, this one on the feet, at about :38, against Joshua Geiringer.

Hanover's third fighter, Brad Herrick, lost by KO to Justin Lucas.

Jeff Smith, who used to train at Hanover, but now calls Blackman MMA home, won by guillotine against Ric Humphries in the first round.

And in the main event, Dustin Pague of Blackman MMA lost to Anthony Leone by a north-south choke in the second round.

Jerod said the place, the Zembo Temple, was packed, sold out and there was not a bad seat in the house. "It was a pretty well run thing," he said of promoter Steve Blackman and his crew. "It was a decent night of fights."

Many thanks to Jerod for these results. Complete results should be ready by early next week.

He may be the owner of mma clothing company Tap or Sleep, but he can put together a mean highlight video. His name is Jerod Phillips.

Got this video from Jerod Phillips of Hanover-based MMA clothing company Tap or Sleep. Marty "Maul" Kusick was a fighter and trainer at John Rallo's Ground Control in Baltimore, Md., and was definitely there in spirit to see Maryland's first MMA event, Shogun Fights, kick off last weekend.

Got an email from Jerod Phillips, owner of Hanover-based MMA clothing company, Tap or Sleep, who told me about Pennsylvania welterweight Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman's fight last week at Valley Fight League in Altoona: "Charlie won by tko first round. Heavy elbows and then quick punches. So its onward and upward for the spaniard." That improves Charlie's record to 10-1. Charlie is a Tap or Sleep-sponsored fighter.

This past weekend, Eric Moore, of Hanover Academy of MMA, entered the cage at Legend Cage Fighting in Manassas, Va. for his debut fight. He ended up in the main event, with fight of the night honors, and a title. How'd it happen?

According to Bob Bitner, Hanover's coach, "Believe me, it shocked us just as much as anybody." Prior to the fight, they went through two opponents - the second pulling out at weigh-ins. Legend's 155-pound champion, Jason Valle, also had an opponent pull out.

Despite Moore's inexperience - and based on Hanover's reputation of producing top-notch fighters - the promoter asked Bitner if Moore wanted the title fight.

"After probably five seconds of thinking about it," Moore and Bitner "jumped at the chance," Bitner said.

After three five-minute rounds, Moore was declared the winner by unanimous decision. "He laid it to this kid," Bitner said. "It was 100 percent Eric, all three rounds. We were very, very proud of him."

Not one to sit back on any laurels, Bitner said now it's time to live up to the title. No doubt Moore will do just that.

This Saturday, Damon's in Hanover will be showing UFC 103 (Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort and Mirko Cro Cop vs. Junior Dos Santos) and will feature appearances from Hanover-based MMA clothing company Tap or Sleep and members of Hanover Academy of MMA.
