Smooth Benson Henderson Defends His Belt

On Saturday, in Denver, CO, Benson Henderson made his first title defense with a hard fought split decision victory over Frankie Edgar.  We are always so proud of our Champ and the hard work that he puts in day in and day out.  Thanks Ben for everything you do and the role model that you are for all of us.  Congratulations!!!

Santino DeFranco now Teaching in Flagstaff

 

Santino DeFranco recently moved to Flagstaff, AZ to continue his education and get his master’s degree.  When we traveled to Flagstaff for Benson’s high altitude camp, we met some great people there, including George Bell, owner of The Martial Way. One thing led to another and now Santino will be bringing his considerable talents to The Martial Way and begin teaching classes! We are all very excited about Tino continuing to teach BJJ and MMA, he is simply one of the best teachers in the business. We want to wish these guys good luck, it is going to work out great for everyone!
