Welcome Two More Warriors to the Team!

Wednesday night, Sept 17, Jason Dent had the all too rare pleasure of inducting a new member to the fight team, and this time not  one, but two fighters had made the cut.  Kevin McCallion and Nikolai Gionti won their fights at the Sept 6th Explosive  Fight Promotions show in Ridgewood, OH fulfilling the requirements for team membership.

This was Kevin’s second cage fight, but his first under the GR banner.  He won by utter domination and GnP in the firts round.

Nikolai had to overcome some seriously bad luck with opponents backing out at the last moment, but the 4th time was the charm and his man stood his ground (only to lose by RNC in the 3rd round), and Nickolai has finally had his name added to the fighter roster.

Unlike many MMA gyms, membership on the GR fight team is not granted by simply keeping up with membership dues, you not only have to fight your right to try out, but but win in the cage as well.  Be sure to congratulate Kevin and Nikolai when you see them around the academy on their accomplishment.
