Devin “D-Bo” Taylor was born and raised in California. At the tender age of 12, a childhood friend showed D-Bo a video of the underground sensation, UFC 1. Billed as the no holds barred answer to which martial art style was superior, D-Bo was immediately in love. UFC 1 showcased Brazilian Jui-Jitsu and Royce Gracie, a 160lb wizard who was breaking arms and suffocating 200lb men into submission on his way to winning the tournament.
D-Bo couldn’t get enough UFC and was soon a fan of Mixed Martial Arts from all over the world. The UFC was the main attraction in America, but Pride FC from Japan brought a different set of rules to the game and more importantly a more aggressive and dangerous style of fighter.
After years of following Pride FC, the UFC, Strikeforce, Affliction, and any other MMA promotion with great fights and fighters D-Bo finally got the break he needed. The UFC opened their first MMA gym in Concord California just minutes from where he was living. D-Bo was finally able to train in all aspects of Mixed Martial Arts just like the fighters he loved. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, boxing , Muay Thai, Crossfit for cardio and sparring. 9 months of intense training turned D-Bo into a self-proclaimed bad ass, but even bad asses can tear their ACL. After 6 months of rehab D-Bo decided that watching and discussing MMA with Mighty was a much better way to go.
The perfect duo was MADE and now it is time to share our passion with the world.
