    Can’t wait for the Alan/Ryan fight. If your fighters can’t make it, why not the two of you? Hope Ryan’s a Giantkiller, too… 😉

    The only way Ryan and I could fight is if I moved to Darfur for 6 months or if Ryan was sponsored by Burger King…

    This are the schedule events for the beginning of the year…
    January 12, 2008 ñ Lakeland Center, Lakeland Florida

    February 9, 2008 ñ Robarts Arena, Sarasota Florida
    They are probably going to be in the same area…

    How about having something at the NTC or Long Beach at least? Closer to home. Have fun in Darfur, Alan. You”ll be one tall, skinny dude when you’ll come back. 🙁 Hope Ryan will meet you halfway with the fast food.

    Bonecrunch Fighting Launches Charlotte Professional MMA Team ñ World-renowned Instructor and Coach Jeff Jimmo to Lead Charlotte Shooters

    SARASOTA, FLA. (December 10, 2007) ñ Expanding rapidly to meet national interest, Bonecrunch Fighting is proud to announce the addition of a Charlotte, North Carolina Team. Jeff Jimmo will be the coach of the team, to be called the Charlotte Shooters.

    Jeff earned his first Black Belt in American Karate at age 18, and he has not stopped training since. Jeff began training in Sambo, BJJ and Submission Wrestling in 1991, and shortly thereafter began to compete in Vale Tudo and Bare Knuckle events. Jeff also wrestled in high school and college. Jeff has earned a Black Belt in Sambo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as Full Instructorship in Combat Submission Wrestling. Jeff is also a certified Krav Maga Instructor, Boxing and Muay Thai coach. Jeff, in recent years, has done considerable amounts of traveling and teaching, domestically and abroad, and he is a highly sought after trainer and motivator (most recently working with UFC fighters Hermes Franca and Kurt Pellegrino.)

    ìJeff helps us to spread Bonecrunch Fighting north from Florida and up the east coast. His background is outstanding and he brings some great fighters to the league,î said Andrew Neitlich, Bonecrunch Fighting founder and CEO.

    Jeff will also work with Ryan Hoover to develop the Shooters.

    Ryan Hoover is the owner of Ryan Hoover’s Extreme Karate and Explosive Combat Training. He is a Certified Shamrock Submission Fighting instructor, as well as a Krav Maga civilian and force training instructor, and black belt in multiple disciplines. In addition to Frank Shamrock, he has trained with and hosted at his school, Bas Rutten, Rich Franklin, Randy Couture, Hermes Franca, and Kurt Pellegrino. Ryan is also a speed, agility and quickness trainer and has produced instructional training videos. Ryan has given training seminars all over the country, including Los Angeles, Orlando, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and more.

    The Charlotte Shooters team is slated to begin fighting for the league after the current 2008 season is complete.

    Bonecrunch Fighting is the nation’s first mixed martial arts (MMA) league with local teams and local fan allegiance, entertaining fans with evenly matched professional fights and lively between-fight entertainment. Currently, the league has eight teams: Cincinnati Norsemen, Lakeland Blaze, Miami Crazy Wolves, Orlando Iron Monkeys, Port St. Lucie Devils, Sarasota Slammers, Tallahassee Warriors and Tampa Terrors.
