Guys,

Obviously we had one heck of a weekend! If you haven’t heard, we legalized MMA in WV and we went 5-0 in MMA all in the same night. I can officially say no other MMA team can every say they did that (special thanks lower in article)

I want to thank CT and Brian for their great corner work this weekend. Leon Ramsey and Jeremy Bates had some problems getting their license but I want to thank them for making the trip and not killing anyone for the mess. They worked hard getting Wes and Adam ready. Honestly, there are too many people to thank, so thank you all… seriously (wife too, so don’t get mad).

As far as MMA goes. Thank for working hard for us. Every time we needed calls, emails, or bodies you guys were there to do it. Thanks for everything and you should all be proud because each and everyone of you made this happen. Sam Minardi did amazing work with the MMA bill and should be commended over and over. There were many people who worked hard behind the scenes. Thanks to you all (including my friends from Morgantown – Don, etc). Leon Ramsey took off work and drove several hours to make the public hearing and he has also worked tirelessly for the last 10 years. Again, almost too may people to properly thank, so thank you all.

Please check out all of the pics and video on facebook and youtube regarding our MMA fights in KY…

Also, please help me promote our BJJ tournament March 26 at Hoover. I really hope you guys can compete. It’s been a long time coming! http://www.advancedbkj.com/double-elimination-tournament-march-26-2011

And don’t forget we have Marcello Monteiro coming April 11 (unless I don’t think I have time to promote it) for just 65$.

I will be in Puerto Rico this Thursday until next, so I will need all the help I can get…

Thanks for everything. I couldn’t be prouder of my team or friends!

Someone recently sent me a video of our battles against the WV State Boxing Commission and it reminded me of just how long this has been going on.  Over 10 years ago I started my fight to get this sport legalized here.  I have went to court, done interviews, and represented cases and bills.  It’s been a long time coming and hopefully we will have the last word in the upcoming senate vote.

Here is a video from about 10 years ago showing some of the battles we had.  I also brought in UFC fighters Royce Gracie and Tim Lajcik to help.
