Who here has experience training, fighting with, sparring, wrestling etc. with fairly big level fighters? Stories are what I'm going for here, first hand accounts about these guys are pretty cool I've been wrestling with Matt Hamill once a week for the past month to help him prep for the Tito fight. The guy is strong, luckily it's just wrestling with him This content is protected
Kinda but not really. Ive rolled a few times with a guy who had a couple wins on preliminary cards for the Elite XC not a truely high level fighter though. Took a seminar under Renzo Gracie and he put his hands on me a few times but obviously thats not training lol.
I've trained under Anthony Perosh and Elvis Sinosic, I know not the highest level guys but pretty well known in the MMA community and both have had UFC fights, Elvis even faught Tito for the title I believe. Also rolled with James Te Huna who recently knocked out Perosh (alot quicker than Cro Cop might I add) and had his first fight in the UFC earlier this year.
rolled with marcello c monteiro and sparred pro boxer spike o sullivan, plus another 4 time european amateur champ who has gone pro ,scary fighter
George Sotriopolous trained at a boxing gym i was at few years back. It was just before he entered the TUF house. He had a 6 round professional boxing fight at the time too, which i went to watch. I never really knew who he was/spoke to him then, but he was pretty good with his hands, watched him spa with some other guys brought in from another trainer, his work ethic was the best i've seen and cardio was awesome.
