Colin Conway Is All Set For Upcoming Mixed Martial Arts Fight

Colin Conway, aka Captain America, is only a few days away from stepping into the cage for the third time to compete in mixed martial arts.

ย 

Colin has been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts at SBG Buford since December of 2015. ย A weightlifter, he decided that he wanted to try something new and exciting; something where he could fuel his competitive desires.

ย 

Coming to SBG Buford with no history of martial arts or combat sports, Colin started in our Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Foundations program. ย He quickly moved his way up and was soon training in Mixed Martial Arts; a combination of both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, and Wrestling. ย This past year, Colin has been doing a strength and conditioning program designed for him by SBG Bufordโ€™s Coach James Morton, our head fitness coach.

ย 

Colinโ€™s first two mixed martial arts contests saw him take to MMA like a fish to water, earning him a 1-0-1 record. ย The no decision came in his very first fight, due to an accidental eye poke. This Saturday, August 11th, he re-matches that same opponent, looking to add another victory to the win column. ย 

ย 

ย 

Tickets for Colinโ€™s mixed martial arts fight can be acquired at Straight Blast Gym. ย The event is being held at Center Stage in Atlanta, GA, and it is an all ages show. Come out and support Colin and SBG Bufordโ€™s mixed martial arts team.

One Tribe One Vibe!!
