Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 After seeing Lei Tong's signature, and hearing a few things about him, I'm interest to hear your guys opinion on him. That spinning toe hold in Lei Tong's sig, is too crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2006 From http://www.cityboxing.com/trainers/Tyrone_Glover.asp: Tyrone Glover began his grappling career in Junior high as a Wrestler and by the time he graduated high school, he had earned a place in the books as a CIF state placer. In college he began studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Ricardo “Franjihna” Miller, of Paragon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Tyrone Glover quickly excelled in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, winning so many tournaments in California he earned the nickname “West Coast Phenom”. After college Tyrone Glover moved to Sacramento, California and trained with Black Belt Cassio Werneck for the next year and a half. He went on to win the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Pan American Championships, the So Cal Pro AM, and Grapplers Quest West and East. Tyrone is Undefeated in Mixed Martial Arts and in 2005 was selected as one of winners for the Pride Fighting Championship Auditions (along with teammate Karl James Noons). In February of 2005 Tyrone Glover received his Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, making him the youngest and most actively competing Black Belt in the San Diego area. He believes through focus, dedication, and proper technique one can achieve optimum results from his or her martial arts training. Unfortunately, like every other PRIDE Audition winner, Tyrone is currently in purgatory, and will likely be spending the next few years doing fuck all in DEEP as far as MMA in concerned. As far as his fighting skills go, he's obviously a good grappler who loves leglocks, though he has a well rounded submission arsenal. His wrestling is decent, if nothing special, and his striking game is unknown to me at this point. Thomas was a good early win for him, though he really needs to stay active if he hopes to develop his MMA game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lei Tong 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2006 Glover should submit him in the first. Also, where'd you hear this? The rumour was Tyson Griffin vs. Ludwig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
