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!

UFC Fighters Giving Back To Kids Fighting For Their Lives

UFC's Urijah Faber At Sunrise Children's HospitalDuring UFC Fight Week, Which Included UFC 189,  A Few Big Name UFC Fighters Took The Time To Visit With Some Kids in a REAL FIGHT.

UFC Fight Week is always busy with Events, Parties, Meet & Greets, and a Big Fight at the end of the week, and UFC 189 was a big fight!

In the middle of UFC Fight Week I was contacted by the UFC and asked if I would be interested in covering some of the athletes visiting our local Sunrise Children’s Hospital. For over 25 years I have been an active music volunteer at Hospices all over the world. In all that time, I never saw any children in that environment, it was always adults usually in their late 60’s-80’s. This was a special hospital just for kids.

The UFC Fighters That Visited The Hospital Were, Heather Clark, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Forrest Griffin, Urijah Faber, and Tyron Woodley.

I interviewed Jerom Schmidt fron Sunrise Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. He shared a bit of history about the hospital and what they provide to and for the children. When a group of us were talking with UFC Fighter Urijah Faber, Urijah said: ” When I fight in the UFC cage, it last only 25 minutes and then I go home. These kids here are in a REAL FIGHT, a fight for there life.”

Not all the children wanted to come out of their rooms, but those that did LOVED seeing the fighters, LOVED getting a UFC Shirt, and the fighters LOVED seeing them and talking with them too! Forrest Griffin got down low with these 2 young kids and they had fun, and so did Forrest. Heather Clark, Tyron Woodley and Joanna were all interacting with the kids, as much as could be permitted.

To my surprise, I got a bit emotional and had to step out of the room for a moment. It was a powerful experience and day.

At the end of the day, it’s not what we do for ourself that matters most, it’s what we do for others and the impact we can make that really counts. Yes these UFC folks are fighters, but they also have HUGE HEARTS!

Keep Being Brilliant

John Kavanagh, Stitch Duram, Ralph CookJacob “Stitch” Duran Stopped By The IMMAF 2015 World Championships on Thursday.

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.
