Dan is a local legend and highly regarded in the area. His fight with Phil Johns was not only a 5 round war in front of 30 people just for the hell of it, but an amazing display of heart/balls. I am definitely interested in this one.
WOW This guy has alot of fight AND BJJ expierience. Getting the perspective of a guy who was involved in MMA pre-Ultimate Fighter would be a benefit for alot of the young amateurs. This guy has produced multiple NAAFS champions from TEAM DNA.

Lol, thanks for the compliments. Not many people know who Phil Johns is. He was one of the first NHB(no holds barred) fighters around! NHB is what we called it before MMA came around. He at one time was considered the best in the world and held the Hook-N-Shoot 155 pound title for a long time. This seminar will definitely take everyones game to the next level.

I fought Jao Herdy on the under card of that show. That was a fantastic fight and one that only about 20 people probably will actually remember,maybe even less but that is what makes it so cool.
I didn't know Jao Herdy fought on that show. I fought him also. I lost a decision. He was a very tough youngster. It was a fun war. I have a very different perspective on BJJ in MMA. It will have everyone scratching their heads and going Hmmmm... I never thought of it that way.
yep he was there alright lol. Any interest in doing an interview beforehand?
