Originally from New York, Mighty came to Northern California at a young age. With no siblings and growing up in some rough cities such as Daly City, San Pablo and Vallejo he soon found that he needed to learn to defend himself. A father of a childhood friend introduced him to boxing, showing him some basic punches and footwork. From that point on he was in love with combat sports. As he got into the teen years he started training in boxing out his mother’s garage but by the start of college boxing was nothing more than a memory.
After 2 years of college Mighty moved back to the east coast, Easton, Pennsylvania, the home town of Larry Holmes. After actually meeting Mr. Holmes in person it rekindled the fire for the love of combat sports. Meeting new friends and hosting parties for boxing events he learned to love a new aspect of the game – the stats, the facts, the insight. After 2 years he couldn’t handle the harsh east coast winters and headed back to Northern California.
By now mma (mixed martial arts) had slowly started making a name for itself. Zuffa had just bought the UFC and it was slowly starting to gain momentum. With boxing becoming more about politics and money the interest of mma started to become more appealing as the new love of combat sports. The sport was still underground per say but there was definitely a fan base. As more and more of Mighty’s friends were introduced to mma it became the new thing to watch. As years past Mighty’s house would be known as the spot to watch all the mma events and still is.
Getting a deeper passion for mma, he not only enjoyed watching the sport but talking about it as well. Mighty felt he wanted to do something more but wasn’t quite sure how. After meeting Devin ‘D-Bo’ Taylor and having numerous conversations about mixed martial arts it just MADE since to take it to the next level. Instead of just talking about mixed martial arts to one another, bring the knowledge and insight to the whole world.Now it’s 2013 and although it’s been hard work the journey has just begun. We hope to bring a great product to all the mma fans out there as well as bringing in new ones!
