[edit] Biography
Mike’s background is in high school wrestling, but if you talk to him, he’ll tell you he was simply a huge fan of MMA and wanted a piece of the action. After high school, Mike joined the Marines and began his pursuit of a career a fighter.
Mike was stationed in California, where he officially started his MMA training. He started off with grappling, which was a natural transition given his wrestling history, and won several Grapplers Quest tournaments.
Mike has already begun to pass his knowledge on to his two younger cousins, teaching them basic MMA moves and pitting them against each other in a friendly sibling rivalry.
