'Mr Fantastic' shows us how it's done

Jack 'Mr Fantastic' Sexton is a friend of Fighters Only. He did a few months work experience with us a while back and is one of the most talented young up and coming fighters from the North East of England, where the Fighters Only HQ is based.

One thing you need to know about Jack - he's a seriously talented young kid at only 19 years old, but that's about as serious as he gets.

Check out the following video to see what we mean, which has created quite a stir on forums such as the UG and even on Joe Rogan's site.



By the way, Jack is the saucy one with the pink hair

As featured in the Performance section of Fighters Only; a combination of pad and bagwork rounds with a partner on standby for clinch work. Rounds of this type of training are an excellent way to get prepped for the changing demands of an MMA fight.

Evan Tanner - one year on

As mentioned in this month's Notes from Ringside (editor Hywel Teague's monthly column) it is almost one year since the death of former UFC middleweight champion Evan Tanner.

To enable us to remember Evan's free spirit and philosophy on life, the makers of the 'behind the scenes' movie Potent released this interview, filmed only weeks before Evan's death.
