Strikers Union
John "Big Dog" Bryant
I started off training by watching DVD instructional I ordered off the internet and practicing what I saw on my wife! :)..I trained for bout three weeks and then I entered a jiu jitsu tournament and got my butt handed to me and then I entered another one and didnt do so bad. I wanted to be able to punch also so cage fighting was perfect for me. My training progressed from just me practicing on my wife to having guys coming over to train at my house or me going over to their houses whatever it took to get what training I could get. The more fights I were in the better the competition got so eventually training in my backyard just wasnt getting it and eventually this lead to me joining Wrights Mixed Martial Arts where I am today :) My only real accomplishment thus far is I was the Amateur Fight League (AFL) middleweight champ.

Round Two
Gustavo
"the grenade"
Duarte
Second Fight
Dann Cucuta
RAGE IN THE CAGE.
Dann was cut bad in the beginning of the first round, by questionable elbows, he then spent the next four minutes defending himself on the ground from a world class wrestler. He fought bravely until the last 10 seconds of the round when, with blood pouring in his eyes and ears he lost to an arm bar. All in all I have to say I am honored having a warrior like Dann Cucuta on our fight team!
Chico "The Punisher" Santiago
The Vision of Chico Santiago.
Mission
Carry the voice of every cage fighter to inspire children and families to keep on fighting and never give up, because the heart is stronger than you think.
Mixed Martial Arts Fighter and Former Ruckus in the Cage Heavy Weight Champion Chico Santiago, dream is to cure childrens cancer. Gathering up all his fellow cage fighters to make a commitment to bring awareness to childrens cancer and somehow fight cancer from the cage. The dream is to take every opportunity to bring as much awareness to the community and the world about this terrible disease. The team visits children in the hospitals and brings smile to their faces and provides families in need of donations, to cover food, hotel expenses and other necessities they might need. While visiting kids in 6 major hospitals, and several volunteers in community projects, INTHECAGE4CANCER was able to raise enough money to support 6 families in Eastern NC. In the future we hope to gather up enough members, sponsors and raise money to keep the fight going and battle this disease one fight at a time.
