Logan Urban Joins the GR Fight Team

This was a good week at GR.  Summer attendance is up, we added Judo back into the class schedule, but best of all we added another fighter to the GriffonRawl Amateur Fight Team.  Because of his dominant win last weekend at Caged Madness30, Logan Urban is now a member of the fight team.

Entry to the GR fight team isn’t easy.  First of all Jason and the coaches must be convinced that the candidate is serious about training, and then the candidate has to perform well in Smokers and in the gym.  Once the candidate is ready for a full contact MMA fight, Jason will present the fighter for local promoters to consider.  Only after winning a sanctioned fight can the fighter be inducted to the GR Fight Team.

Logan is an active member of GR.  He’s consistent in showing up for scheduled classes, takes advantage of open mat and the cross training opportunities the gym arranges.  His dedication shows in his preparation.

As his training progressed he was selected to fight for the gym at Smokers, and even entered state level grappling tournaments on his own (winning Gold).

He had a rocky path to his debut win at Caged  Madness 30, but not of his own doing.  Logan may hold the amatuer team record for opponents backing out at the last minute.  But someone finally stepped up, Logan got his win, and GR is able to celebrate adding another fighter to the team.

Be sure to congratulate Logan when you see him at the gym.
