Co-Host of the weekly MMANUTS MMA Podcast. Matt introduced the UFC and mixed martial arts to me a few years back and I’ve been addicted ever since. In 2008 we started training in Krav Maga until we found Comprido BJJ in 2009 which we call home now. Currently training in Thai Boxing, Wrestling, and Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, the latter of which is my favorite martial art. Love every aspect of MMA and especially find the ground game the most interesting.
