I will send a PM to all to remind about this.

FIGHTER IMAGE in the post is a must.

Name (w/Nickname if you have one): Jon "Broadway" Gibbs
Height:6'3
Weight:205
Home Town: New York, New York
Age:23
Style: Freestyle
Affiliation: Independent

What inspired you to take up MMA? I grew up in a mixed martial arts family. At a young age I was into wrestling, although I really shone in kickboxing. MMA is one of the two main paths in life I travel down. The guys at the camps I revolve through call me "Broadway" because I'm also an accomplished theatre actor. Maybe someday I'll get into the movie biz.

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF?
Garrick and Derrick Coleman, Gary Ahkistbahn, Kagiso Ahkistbahn. Really all of them but hey man I won't deny it, I'm black, and unless someone makes a complete ass of themselves I'm always proud to see a black man do great things. I respect guys like Paul Somers and Dwayne Rockwell as well though . . . so don't be thinking I'm racist or something.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF?
I don't know enough of the guys in this sport to really say I dislike anyone.

Why do you deserve a spot on this show?
I'm a well rounded athlete that will pose a threat to any guy on this show. You have your allstar wrestler you want to win this show? I can sprawl and outstrike him. If there's the golden boy ju jitsu guy, I can do the same. And if the front runner is a devastating striker that just runs through everyone, I'll plant him on his ass and work him on the ground.

Any prior MMA experience that will help you here?
Only a few amateur fights.

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson?
He's an OWGP champ so that goes for something, even if he did mainly fight lighter guys along the way. He's been looking bad lately but he had a quick knockout over that Canadian dude so maybe he's back.

Thoughts on Coach Garrick Coleman?
I'd love to be on his team, he's done a lot for the sport, and he won the comeback show and took the title afterwards. Whether I'm on his team or Jackson's though I'm sure I'll learn a lot.

Anything else you feel like saying?
Well . . . if I don't win the show, as long as I put on a good showing, MMA is still a go for me. But this is the true test for myself. If I get beaten horribly out there, it's very likely I'll give up my dream for MMA and focus on acting. So my life is in God's hands right now.

I really only took up MMA cause I needed the money

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF?

I look up to the greatest fighter of all time Paul Somers he is overall one of the most well rounded fighters in MMA today.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF?

I'll get to that if I become successful on the show and have the right to talk about who I don't like

Why do you deserve a spot on this show?

I think I can bring excitement into the show with my style of fighting

Name (w/Nickname if you have one): "Sleek" Saben Giacomo
Height: 6'1
Weight: 170
Home Town: Atlantic City, Georgia
Age: 21
Style: BJJ
Affiliation: Pimpjitsu

What inspired you to take up MMA?
A mutual friend of mine in Italy trained with Lorenzo Guerini back in his FURY PRO days. Lorenzo, Richie, and the guys at the Italian Fight club introduced me to MMA. What's better than beating someone up and not getting arrested for it?

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF?
Anyone taller than me.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF?
No comment on that one.

Why do you deserve a spot on this show?
Because I can stomp the rest of the guys you have for this show and I'll attract a larger woman demographic for you guys. *winks*

Any prior MMA experience that will help you here?
No. Not even any amateur bouts. Right now I train with the Rockwell's, Ahkistbahn's, and the rest at Pimpjitsu.

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson?
Good kickboxer, improved on the ground, and shit in the clinch.

Thoughts on Coach Garrick Coleman?
Good boxer, decent ground game, great in the clinch, and has some great cutting elbows.

Anything else you feel like saying?
I'm ready.

[birdman3015]

Name: Joey " Bad Boy " Diaz
Height:6'
Weight:170
Home Town: Stockton, Cali.
Age:20
Style: BJJ/Boxer
Affiliation: Independent

What inspired you to take up MMA?
I grew up in a tough neighborhood in Stockton. Ya pretty much have to whoop ass in order to get by each day. My dad and older brothers were into boxing so I took up boxing. I got into too much trouble and ran with the wrong crew so my father got me into wrestling and bjj to keep me away from where I was going.


Who do you look up to in the IMMAF?
I look up to Tito Jackson and BJ Dwinell. Tito because he tells ya how it is and then tries to tear you a new one. And BJ because of his Jitz skills.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF?
Nobody at the moment. But once I run amuck on the 170'ers every one of those fuckers will be disliked in my book.

Why do you deserve a spot on this show?
I feel like I am the next big thing at 170.

Any prior MMA experience that will help you here?
Ive been doing a lot of grappling tournys and bjj tournys. Plus I was a undefeated amature boxer. Both of which should get me far.

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson?
Tito is out of Cali. Thats where he gets his cockyness and his swagger. Id love to be on his team, I need work with my stand up, my kickboxing, and the clinch. I feel he can make me a complete fighter.

Thoughts on Coach Garrick Coleman?
I dont know much about him. But hes a legit fighter. Also a dude who could complete my skills.

Anything else you feel like saying?
Im not here to make friends, Im here to fuck peeps up, impress mma fans and show them why I feel like I am the next big thing at 170. Every single 170'er on this show is in my way. And I will fuck each and every one of them up.

Name: Jacory "Wildman" Wilcox
Height:6'5
Weight:205
Home Town: Gary, Indiana
Age:18
Style: Greco/Boxing
Affiliation: Independent

What inspired you to take up MMA? My older brother Jacoby Wilcox. Me and him used to go at it all the time when we we're kids and we had to defend ourselves living in Gary, Indiana. It was just crazy man. Our mom put us in some wrestling clubs when we were younger and it just kind of took off from there.

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF? Anybody that works hard and shows the desire to stay in the IMMAF. Many are going to hate this but Mitch Armour. He has hung around a long time and only a man with great determination do something like that.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF? Nobody yet, I'm sure I'll run into somebody.

Why do you deserve a spot on this show? I deserve a spot because I'm the best young, unsigned light heavyweight in the world. I think that this experience will help me take my game to a whole new level.

Any prior MMA experience that will help you here? Only a few amateurs fights to my record. But a ton of wrestling, and submission grappling tournaments.

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson? Trashtalker, but for the most part can back it up. More of a kickboxer, with an improving ground game.

Thoughts on Coach Garrick Coleman? Great Muay Thai, he has elbows and dirty boxing for days. He's also got an extremely underrated ground game.

Anything else you feel like saying? This is going to change my life.

Name: Rian Wallace
Height: 6'0
Weight: 205
Home Town: Chicago, Illinois
Age: 23
Style: Boxing
Affiliation: None

What inspired you to take up MMA? I was a golden gloves boxer in chicago. I won a few of the tournaments but never really broke through. So I figured I'm not a top level boxer but I could maybe mix it up a little bit and get into another sport. I'm a contact sport kind of guy.

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF? Anyone that's tough and can take a punch and then give one back.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF? The pussies that can't take a hit.

Why do you deserve a spot on this show? I punch hard, and I can take a shot. Mix that with some determination and you'll get one hell of a fighter.

Any prior MMA experience that will help you here? 3-2 in amateur mma. I don't have a great record. But I'll put on a show you won't forget.

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson? My kind of a guy. Likes to stand and bang with people.

Thoughts on Coach Garrick Coleman? Same dude, different distance of the stand up but he brings the pain and enjoys it.

Anything else you feel like saying? Nah.

[Blindsided]

Garrick "Ice Cold" Coleman

What inspired you to take up the TIF coaching spot? I just love fighting and I love teaching younger guys how to get better at it.

What do you think of the upcoming talent? Tough, hungry guys. They couldn't of picked a better ground of guys.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF? Adrian Van Ness, he was a punk when I fought him back in the day and he still is. But he's a bitch and behind me now.

Thoughts on your opposing coach? He's a talker and he likes to bang. We both fancy ourselves stand up fighters. But I think whoever shows the better ground game will win our fight at the end of the season.

Anything else you feel like saying? Pain!

[birdman3015]

What inspired you to take up the TIF coaching spot?
Because I have a brillant personality!!! I get paid to train and mold these young fucks. A lot of peeps dont know a whole lot about me so this is the best way to put this beautiful mug on the tv screen and add me some fans...

What do you think of the upcoming talent?
Looks to be a talented season. Gibbs looks like a badass. I think Primas will have a ton of advantage with him towering over folks. Diaz is a kid I have heard of for quite some time. His ground game is just as good as Birdmans. If hes available I want him on my team. I will make him unstoppable.

Anyone you dislike in the IMMAF?
Anybody thats not in TWC. I hate Mitch, I honestly wish hed fight me but always dicktucks about that subject. I dont like Payne and I dont like Keskoo.

Thoughts on your opposing coach?
Hes a good guy. His brother has trained at TWC and hes been in with him as well. Altho I have a perfect spot on my mantel for his head.

Anything else you feel like saying?
Its going to be a entertaining, must see show. There will be some confrontations, there will be some bad ass knock outs, bad ass subs, and me trash talking everyone. Tune in!

((I think Garrick is going to be quite outraged during this show.))

What inspired you to take up MMA?

Who do you look up to in the IMMAF?
Aleks of course and others

Not really. I have a lot of respect for all the guys out there

Thoughts on Coach Tito Jackson?

I hope his PitFighting career goes well.

Anything else you feel like saying?

I hold many deep, dark secrets. I've done some pretty nasty things in-between my sporadic appearance in the IMMAF. Hopefully, my demons won't catch up with me during the show.
