    I remember this kid was coming up and looking pretty decent. About a year ago, he got stabbed in an attempted robbery, and he hasn't fought since. Anyone know what he's up to?

    Also, His last two wins were changed to NCs by the Michigan Athletic Commission. Anyone know why?

    NC's are due to drug tests that were failed. I believe he is suspended in Michigan. I know he was in jail in Florida for assaulting his gf and then heard he was moving back to Detroit and reconciling with her. I have also heard that he resigned with his old promotional team.

    It's a pretty sad case thus far but he is young and if he recovers from being a constant dick head he would have a great story. IMo without all the drama in his life he would be 1 of the top 140's in the world right now. Loads of talent but not much self control.
