About me
I'm a bit of the adventurous (crazy) type! Not only do I live and breathe Mixed Martial Arts on a daily basis, but to further my knowledge of the world's fastest growing sport, I took a short notice fight on a local circuit – that I won by the skin of my ass!
Years before the IkeTagon, the martial arts journey commenced back in 2005 while watching "The Ultimate Fighter" reality show, and what ultimately drove me to sign up for my first martial arts class (Maxum BJJ) back in August of 2009, was when I witnessed -UFC legend- Anderson Silva's Matrix-like knockout of former UFC Champ Forrest Griffin! (oh my!)
Since I started training MMA, through hard work and focus, I have achieved success both on and off the mats. And following my first cage fight in September 2016, my former co-host Pete Hoffman and I had the privilege to sit down with UFC President Dana White for an interview that went viral (Outside The Cage)!
The next 3 years found us interviewing hundreds of combat sports athletes and personalities, breaking some more news, becoming Twitter verified and respected columnists, hosting nationally syndicated MMA shows – and I had the personal pleasure of traveling across the country to witness many LIVE events! (so much fun!)
