Freddy Martin: Although I am the Middleweight champion of the IMMAF many people do not know my background so I figured I owe it to the fans that I post a short bio of myself right here.
Bio: Freddy Martin was born in Newark New Jersey, a rough neibourhood not fit for a weak nerd such as Martin. Instead of having to fight battles on the street Martin did it inside on computer games such as World of Warcraft, Unreal Tournament, and Counter-Strike. Martin avoided many sports afraid of the jocks and bullys who roamed around his school. After getting into a conflict online with another gamer (which consisted of a war of words) Martin said he could kick the other gamer's ass. The gamer asked with what and Martin responded with the one term he could think of from MMA...Jiu jitsu. The gamer called the bluff on Martin (who at this point had never done any sports in general let alone grappling). Martin learnt jiu jitsu at a local school and despite his lack of strength and athleticism was a natural at learning the techniques using his intelligence, speed, and muscle memory abilities. After doing BJJ everyday from college all the way into his 20s he rightfully earned his blackbelt which included Grappler's Quest New Jersey tournament wins and many others on a national and even world level. Martin found MMA after talking with Ukrainian born Rahway New Jersey fighter Leonid Grigoriev who invited him to train at We Beat Our Wives Club.
Freddy Martin has only lost once to John Evans which he avenged in a rematch. While not training with Regis Simmons and Leonid Grigoriev Martin is an entrepreneur who runs the Newark Cyber Cafe and in the basement gives private BJJ lessons.

Keep in mind the blue belt may be only 1-2 years older than me and alot smaller he has about 3 times the experience as I do hes also very fast and hard to catch. Hes a guy I spar with alot. His dad is the short stocky guy who throws the other young blue belt (I really don't like him and he uses brute strength over technique compared to his son. When I was a white belt he pretty much went full out on me so I pretty much hate him for life and hes become a bit of a rival for me. Wait til I start BJJ...)
