Apr 29, 2020

On March 1st, 1998 unknown Canadian fighter Joel Gerson defeated superstar Rumina Sato in Shooto, Japan's oldest MMA promotion.  Even more astounding was that this was basically Joel's first fight.  We go deep into that fight and the differences in MMA training between then and now.  I think you'll really like this one!

Check out Joel's school at revmma.com and follow him on Instagram at @joelgerson.
