One Instructor On TUF Tonight, Other Leaving For Pan American Jiu Jitsu Championship

[Conner MACHINE Gibbons]

Just a reminder for everyone to tune in tonight to The Ultimate Fighter and watch my Muay Thai instructor , and also brown belt in Gracie jiu jitsu, on the third week of the season. WAR !!!!!!! Marc Stevens.

Send him good vibes guys, he's a cool dude.

Also my Jiu Jitsu Sensei, a black belt in Gracie jiu jitsu. leaves for the Pan American tournament in NYC being held on Saturday. If anyone is going make sure to let Jordan Damon know your a friend of the Machine and wish him the best outcome in the tourny.

He's also a very cool dude.

Your sensei, Jordan Damon had a awesome highlight video, awhile back. It was on the old Tai-Kai website.

[Conner MACHINE Gibbons]

He was top of the food chain for a long time, West coast tournaments. Naga, GQ, MMA Caged Rage, King Of The Cage. He won just about everything at one time or another. Stopped teaching and competeing for a few years. I am lucky enough to be able to call him Sensei for a couple years now. Sometimes it would be me and him one on one in dead of winter training in a old brick building with no heat.

Times are better now, thank god.lol. Coach Stevens hooked up with Sensei Damon and Jiu Jitsu Nation was born. Going strong for 1 full year next month, with second school opening and pushing 300 students. I take alot of pride in saying I was the first person to ever roll on the mats when Jiu Jitsu Nation started.

We have a strong team of fighters, I will keep you informed. Coach Stevens will not be the last person from Jiu Jitsu Nation you will see with the UFC. WE have a 170 pounder that is a beast......and a good friend. He will be the next to make it in the house is my guess. We also have 135 pounder that is trying to kick in the door of the WEC. And I work with all of them as much as I can. I hope to be half as good as they think I will be in a few years, because I plan on being a house hold name. lol.

So when your watching future MMA match's watch for that Jiu Jitsu Nation fighter, we are on the loose !!!!

Training with no heat in the middle of winter in Watertown. Hardcore! Jiu Jitsu Nation must have alot of guys from Fort Drum.
