Marvin Eastman (Champion) |
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION | Nickame: "The Beastman" Home: Las Vegas, NV, USA Birthdate: 06/08/71 Height: 5'9" Weight: 205 lbs Fight Club: Lewis / Pederneiras Vale Tudo Fighting Style: Wrestling MMA Pro Debut: June 2000 ELITE Record: 1-0-0 Most Admired Fighter: Randy Couture | "Apart from a background in wrestling, I was also offered a full ride football scholarship to the University of Washington, but favored the bright lights of Las Vegas and decided to sign on with UNLV instead. I played 2 successful seasons as a tailback and fullback with the Running Rebels, and later joined the Canadian Football League (CFL) for a short time. In 1996 I decided to focus my talents and skills in a new and more challenging area and turned to muay thai fighting. I quickly remembered my wrestling roots and loved the feeling of utilizing knees and elbows in combat. With my natural strength, quickness, experience, and newly found muay thai skills, I decided that I could be more than just a force, but possibly dominate the sport." |
