Yes I know, this is a little overdue and a little old but I give credit where it is due. In fact this is from back on the 18th of Sept…right about the time I stopped posting for a bit. Yikes!
Anyway, this is Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford and myself after he won the TFC Welterweight Title (170lb weight class). Make no mistake though this is one big 170 pounder. When he fought that night he weighed 194lbs. Yes, that means in the days leading up to the fight he dropped over 20lbs.
He beat his opponent in the first round by rear naked choke and was awarded the title. A very emotional win as the weeks leading up to the fight were plagued by personal verbal attacks on Ryan, his training and his past. Well, I guess there was a little redemption that night…too bad it was so short.
Ryan has trained at SPARK for just about a year now and has really been able to step up his game. And for those of you that have worked out with him you know what a great guy he is…harded to believe he kicks the piss out of people for a living.

Maybe a little more attention to detail and a little less Vanilla Ice style rhyming and that wouldn’t happen Jonny…;)
