I saw where Wonderboy won his 3rd Pro MMA fight. Way to go !!! What a talent..........Is it time for him to step up to maybe a King of the Cage or Strikeforce type of MMA event? Just a thought. I see where Jesse Finney, Kevin Engels Manager and former WCL couch from St. Louis is fighting for Strikeforce and is doing well. I think he is 6-1 as a Pro and is on the main card in Dec. I believe he is fighting at 170lb. Jesse is a great fighter but I do believe the Wonderboy could handle him. What do you guys think out there?

Ray: Keep up the great work training the Wonderboy. He is a monster at 170.

Much respect to you Ray and your fighters!!!

Larry

Thanks guys,
We are training hard to make the transition to mma!!! The WB really likes the challenge and the money isn't bad either. To bad the money isn't as good in kickboxing and that's to bad. Anyway thanks for the support!!!

Oh, a bit of news you might be interested in. A couple weeks ago I received a text from GSP asking if we could come to Montreal to help him prepare for his Dec. 11th fight with Josh Koschek. Of course we accepted and will be there Nov. 19th til the 28th. His trainer, Firaz Zahabi, is a very sharp and knowledgable in all aspects of mma and we will have the pleasure and benefit of learning from him while there. Gonna be gooooood!!

Ray : Thanks for the update. Training with GSP only shows us what a great fighter Stephen is and GSP surely wants him to attend because of his great striking skills and we all know about how much Wonderboy is improving in MMA. Any plans to step up to a larger MMA organization for Stephen to fight? He is a beast at 170. Hope all goes well for Stephen and his training with GSP.

Much Respect,

Larry

Larry,
Thanks. We are looking at a few larger org's. I have been in touch with Joe Silva who matchmakes for UFC and he told me that he wants the WB to get about 7 fights before he will call him. It's not to say he will call the WB but 7 fights seems to be the magic number he wants us to have BEFORE he looks at us. Anyway we are on the way. 3 down and 4 to go. We leave tomorrow for Montreal. Gonna be great!!!

Me, Stephen, Evan, Joseph Corneroli, our wrestling coach Thomas Lee and our photographer Gabriel Lance just spent a week in Montreal training with GSP helping him prepare for his fight on dec. 11th against Josh Koscheck. We have lots of pics on the Upstate Karate Facebook. Go check them out!!
