WSOF30Last Week I Interviewed The Amazing MMA Fighter, John Fitch at www.OneKickGym.com.

Jon Fitch is a seasoned and well rounded fighter who still aspires  WINNING the Welterweight Title Belt that has eluded him over the years. Jon was originally scheduled to fight Jake Shields for the vacant welter weight title but that fell through. Now, Fitch is competing for that TITLE BELT with a new opponent, the Brazilian, Joao Zeferino.  


Fitch wrestled in high school and college then continued his journey by competing as an amateur with the Las Vegas Based Promotion, TUFF-N-UFF.  Many fighters got there start with TUFF-N-UFF like Ronda Rousey, Ryan Couture and many others. Jon Fitch continued  his fight career with the UFC and now he’s fighting with World Series of Fighting, aka WSOF and fighting for the TITLE. Jon trains and is an instructor at Nick Blomgren’s One Kick Gym in Las Vegas.

Good Luck Jon!

Italian MMA Fighter Marco Zannetti Has New Friends in Las Vegas!

Italian Amateur MMA Fighter Marco Zannetti Competed With His TEAM At The IMMAF World Championships 2015.

I was one of the photographers for the IMMAF 2015. Marco Zannetti was just one of the fighters that I got to know on a more personal basis. What really captured my attention about Marco was, after the IMMAF ended, he decided to stay for a few extra weeks to continue to train at some of the local Las Vegas MMA training centers.

A unique friendship and bond developed between Marco and local Cutman/Trainer Roddy Reiger. The relationship developed so much that Roddy Reiger and his wife Elana invited Marco to stay with them while he continued to train.

As far as I know, Marco Zannetti was the ONLY MMA Fighter to stay in Las Vegas after the IMMAF 2015,  in order to take advantage of the WOLRD CLASS MMA Training Talent in Las Vegas. Only Champions do things like that and I PREDICT, Marco Zannetti will be a WORLD CHAMPION some day!

 

Next TUFF-N-UFF Event is January 15, 2016.

See Ya Cageside,

Jose Shorty Torres With TEAm USA Coaches IMMAF 2015From TEAM USA, Jose “Shorty” Torres Defeated His Opponent Saturday July 11, 2015 During UFC Fan Expo To Retain His World Champion Title!

What a wild ride it has been for this years IMMAF 2015 World Championships. For Jose Torres, the returning World Champion from last years event, shared “the competition this year was stronger”. Yes he pulled down 4 WINS, but it wasn’t all a cakewalk. Some of the fights ended rather quickly, like the finals with a rear naked choke in the 1st round, but all in all, the bar has gone up from last year.

We saw Jose compete last year and it was a pleasant surprise to see him return to defend his title. No doubt the entire level of competition across the board has gone up, but so did the game of Jose Torres. He quickly became a fan favorite and one of  “THE GUYS TO WATCH”.Jose Shorty Torres With His Brother After His Big WIN at IMMAF 2015

I caught up with Jose “Shorty” Torres after his win i the finals. Torres has some really good opportunities ahead.  As long as he can keep injuries to a minimum, keep training hard and improving, I think we will see some big things from this young kid. It’s not a matter of if, BUT WHEN!

Watch This NOW!

Anyone that has been in the MMA game for any length of time has heard of the legendary cutman, Jacob Duran, aka Stitch. You have seen him working at UFC since 2003 and has become the goto cutman for almost every fighter today. When he walks into a gym or an event, he is a ROCK STAR! Everyone wants to get a photo with this icon, not only the fans, but other cutmen as well.

I met Stitch on the Rocky Balboa movie set back in 2005, and we have been friends ever since.
