First, Jess Martinez–the Vanilla Gorilla–dominated his fight at Buffalo Thunder at Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts series. Second, Santa Fe Fitness and Martial Arts competitor, Josiah Reyes, finished his fight with an arm-bar at the same event. A week later, Jesse Urbina took 1st at Fight to win in Denver, and Michael Urbina took a medal in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Denver, (also bringing home the bacon the very next weekend at a Gracie tournament in Albuquerque), as did Josh, Nas Kapeluk, and Renae Lee. Congrats to everyone who competed. Proud of the team!
