- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 4 : Clash of the TitansSaturday at the Mundials was the real beginning of the “Clash of the [BJJ] titans.” The junior blue-belts divisions, the purple-belt male and female open divisions, as well as the brown belts and the lighter-weight black belts (my favorite divisions of course) were on the docket. The bullpen, the stands, and the surrounding areas were flooded with BJJ royalt […]
- A Lawyer in Long Beach pt 3 : Once the Dust SettledLater in the day we came up with a plan whereby each fighter from Crazy 88 preparing for a fight would be assigned an assistant who had fought the day before, to make sure they had everything they needed. It was an honor to be able to assist, in what little way I could, in a teammates’ preparations. SEVEN (7) Lloyd Irvin competitors became World Champions on […]

- UFC 114: Rampage v Evans Review by Jon DelbruggeUFC 114 was a Mayweather style hyped card. Two of MMAs best light heavyweights finally fighting each other after 15 months of well publicized trash talk.

- STRIKEFORCE: Heavy Artillery Review-Jon Delbrugge- In today’s mainstream MMA we have an oversaturation of the blood splattering, lightning bolt, tribal tattoo designed logo appeal to it. I like how Strikeforce is trying something different they are going for the complete opposite. Saturday night’s Heavy Artillery card had different audiences, different fighters, different TV deals. The produc […]

- Running a Large Martial Arts School vs. a Small OneI’ve had the opportunity to be a student at “small” academies that grew into big ones and also have had the good fortune of watching my own Howard County Martial Arts academy develop into a “big” school as well.

Mike “The Hulk” Easton makes his long-awaited return to the cage in a little more than a week, on May 22, at the GMU Patriot Center in Fairfax, Virginia. Easton defends his UWC bantamweight championship against Ryan “The Lion” Diaz in the night’s main event. I had a chance to catch up with Mike earlier today for the following interview:
What do you know about your May 22 opponent, Ryan Diaz?
I don’t know much about him but I know he’s going to lose to Mike Easton. And he’s a very experienced fighter who’s fought great guys. And he likes to bang!
How’s fight camp been?
Incredible. Awesome. It feels good. My standup is unbelievable. Jiu Jitsu is on point, I’m ready to do the thing if it hits the ground.
In your controversial fight last October against Chase Beebe he used wrestling to maintain positional advantage over you for a good portion of the fight. Has your wrestling game changed since then?
Yes, my wrestling has improved dramatically so far as takedowns as well as takedown defense is concerned. Coach Jim Kelly and teammate J.C. Cuffee have worked with me extensively on my wrestling. I’ve also been wrestling live with Justin Hickey and D.J. Jackson and my game has evolved 100% since October. Chase Beebe is welcome to a rematch any time he wants to sign on the dotted line.
It’s been eight long months since the Beebe fight. How are you feeling in general?
I’m itching to get back in the cage. I can’t wait. I’ve made some changes in my life. Mike Easton has learned some things about Mike Easton. I’ve been learning about me and becoming the best man and a great role model to Champ and Lazha, my two kids.
What’s your prediction for the fight?
Total destruction, Hulk style. Pain. Mike “The Hulk” Easton winning, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
It’s an exciting time at Lloyd Irvin’s Martial Arts Academy with so much going on it’s probably hard for Master Lloyd to keep track of it all himself. For starters, Fight! Magazinenamed LIMAA the #15 MMA school in the country; in a list dominated by schools in Las Vegas and other MMA “Meccas,” LIMAA was the only academy in the region to be so honored.
It’s easy to see why LIMAA is among the elite. At UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi, future UFC light heavyweight superstar Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis, with Master Lloyd in his corner, put on a clinic as he finished his opponent in the first round with an anaconda choke. As UFC 112 took place in Abu Dhabi, Team Lloyd Irvin competitors were tearing things up in California at the Pan American BJJ tournament. Team Lloyd Irvin captured a number of medals, with Tracey Goodell and Willie Leonard leading the way by taking gold in both their respective blue belt divisions and then again in the Absolutes. Then, in the New York International Open last week, Team Lloyd Irvin took second overall team and dominated to such an extent that it’s not practical to name individuals — the list would go on and on. AAAYYY!!!!
