hey guys im Luke. I went to school at Bowling Green State University. I played football for them but due to injuries I couldn't play after my freshman year.
Always competitive I decided to pick up the safer sports of Boxing and Jiu-jitsu. After college in 2005 I trained for over a year with Dan Severn in Coldwater Michigan.
I have since moved to Cincinnati to train at JG MMA Academy full time.Actively Fighting for the UFC.
My Training style
I am a 6-foot-2 fighter who turned pro nearly two years ago, has fought throughout the Midwest in organizations such as King of the Cage, RFC,Fightfest, and most recently, the Illinois-based Xtreme Fighting Organization. With Team Jorge Gurgel fighter I have earned five of his seven victories via submission.
My most recently I defeated William Hill -- an experienced fighter who's fought everyone from Stephan Bonnar to Terry Martin to Jeremy Horn to John Kolosci -- at a Dec. 1 XFO event. My victory, which came via first-round KO, earned me the XFO middleweight championship. At that time Hill had only been knocked Terry Martin and Jim Martin in his 40 plus fight career.
