New MMA club in town

Quick note about a new MMA club in town—

John "Bones" Shaddock is a former New England Diamond Belt Boxing Champion and NYPS State Bronze medalist in wrestling. His partner is Leroy Epperson III and he is the founder of Giajin Ryu Jiu-Jitsu. They are in the amateur fight league (IBLfights.com) and are the only team competing from Maryland.

They are looking for boxers, wrestlers, jiu-jitsu fighters, and freestyle fighters.
