Bjorn told me he was interested to see how much I could still improve and he was impressed with what this 30year old man still is capable of. I'm very happy to be training again and get ready for a future opponent. I'm not sure yet who will be man enough to step up to the challenge and fight me, but time will tell. Career Record 22-8-0 (W-L-D) The former Hero FC 155lbs and 170lbs champion The former MMA Helsinki 155lbs champion

TOURNEY ID: 260K WEIGHT CLASS: VOTE NOW http://oi57.tinypic.com/256tqbk.jpg The question is often asked: 'Who is the next big thing in MMA?' Many managers tend to take this opportunity to brag about their 2-0 fighters and claim they are the next Jeremy Tonal, the next Otso Jokinen, the next Jigoro Kane... Only to later find out that they are just the next tenant of a beach house in the bahamas. So, along came the Fight Academy. Dana Black, founder of Fight Academy, is sick of hearing false claims from numerous fighters and their managers and decided now is the time for them to prove they are the best youngsters around. He signed a contract with St Petersburg organization, Ring of Violence to hold the events. Now the search for the young talent begins (255K ID)... http://oi57.tinypic.com/245wwmb.jpg Media: Good afternoon Mr Black. Word has spread about your new TV show 'Fight Academy'. Can you tell us why you decided to start this? Dana: Well, I just want to see all the best rising talent in one place fighting each other. If you wanna be the best, you gotta beat the best as they say. Besides its the perfect way to get recognized in the MMA world to get your name out there. Media: And tell us how this tournament is gonna run? How does it differ from the other tournaments we see going on? Dana: To be honest its very fucking similar to a tournament that has been done before, I bought the rights off Rory Daly... Ya know his Gangs of New York style tourney. So, I'm looking for 30 guys ready to go to war. Those 30 guys will be split into 6 teams of 5 guys. The 6 captains of those teams will be the 6 highest ranked guys once the slots are filled up and they will get to choose who is on their team using draft picks. So yep its the same as GONY except they will all be living in the Fight Academy mansion under one roof for a few months and it will all be televised for the viewers entertainment. Shit is gonna go down! Oh and ofcourse GONY always wanted rookies new to MMA where as I am looking to get the young talent who have a few years experience under their belts. Media: Sounds interesting. So what do the winners get? Dana: There will be two 'winners prizes'. One individual winners prize, which will be a custom trophy, VIP reward and a money prize. Then there will also be a prize for the winning team, they will get a cash prize split between them. The figures for the cash prizes aren't finalized yet but I can gaurantee the winning team will get at least 200K each. Numbers will be revealed once we sort out all the sponsorships and viewer count from the TV show. Media: Sounds like it could be huge, but obviously you are relying on the young talented fighters to sign up for this. Do you think the slots will fill up? Dana: I'd like to think so. Its a hell of an opportunity for them to showcase their skills in front of the world and let their actions prove their worth, all the while earning a healthy cheque by the end of it. Lets hope we can find 30 guys who have the fuckin' balls to step up and put on a great show for the fans. Media: Finally, what weight class are we looking at here? Dana: Good question, we are still in the process of figuring that out. It' always tempting to go for openweight but we are posting a poll for the fans to decide that. Well, that is unless its a weight class myself and Storman, ROV owner, strongly disagree on. The public's votes will help a lot though. Media: Thanks for your time and we sincerely hope this fills up quick so we can watch the madness unfold on our TV's! Dana: Thank you, the word is out there now so lets see what happens.
