MAY 22 The Art Of Fighting 8

To say you had to be there might be the understatement of the year. This match was quite literally the epitome of what MMA is all about. Competition. Testing oneself. Overcoming adversity. Calming the mental storm. Conquering fear.

Fred “The Panther” Weatherly’s victory on Saturday Night at The Art Of Fighting 8 over Olympic wrestler Sergio Rodriguez was a perfect example of technique, conditioning and sheer force of will.

Fred looks to his next fight with anticipation and the entire Blacktrunk Academy will be in his corner.
