How did you get started in MMA and how long have you been with the Unit 2 Fitness Fight Team?
I’ve been with Unit 2 Fitness Fight Team about two years now and that’s pretty much my career in MMA. I wrestled pretty much my whole life. Once I finished wrestling in high school I did a little bit of college and went into the military. After the military I went and played a little football at West Georgia, so I’ve always been pretty active.

I took a long time off from wrestling and was actually looking in to getting back into it when a friend of mine had been training with Roberto Traven [Unit 2's head coach]. He told me ‘it’s not wrestling but you’ll fit in real well with it with your wrestling background.’

I came out here, trained with Traven, loved him as a coach and as a person and just loved the sport. That was my first class and I just took straight to it right away.

We are pleased to announce that Unit 2 Fitness has won the "Best Gym to Workout" in the Sunday Paper Reader's choice awards.

If you haven't yet heard of Strikeforce heavyweight Ronald "Abongo" Humphrey (5-0), it's understandable.

It's possible you blinked and missed his winning run as a member of Lil Jon and Shonie Carter's team on the much-maligned BET series, "Iron Ring." And his 2008 signing with EliteXC just weeks before the company closed up shop certainly didn't help his visibility.

But if things go as planned for Humphrey, the world will know the name "Abongo" after his April 11 "Shamrock vs. Diaz" bout with Brett Rogers (8-0).
"I just see this as an opportunity for me to showcase my talent and let the world see exactly what skill set I have to offer and to bring to the MMA game," Humphrey told MMAjunkie.com on a recent media call.

"I'm very excited about the fight. I think it's going to be an excellent fight. I think that we're going to give an excellent show, and I think that fans are going to be really surprised and energized by the energy and the excitement that we're going to bring."

Humphrey is billed as 12-0 by Strikeforce, but his official record differs depending on who's discussing it. And while Humphrey's time on "Iron Ring" may not give him instant credibility, the Atlanta resident is proud of his time on the show.

"My experience on 'Iron Ring' was a fascinating one," Humphrey said. "I think that the idea that (Iron Ring Executive Producer) David Isaacs had about bringing the mainstream (hip-hop) artists and pairing them with MMA was a brilliant idea to try and bring MMA more into the mainstream light.

"I faced some pretty good opponents there. I think that a lot of times in the media, and on the internet, I heard a lot of chatter about how they think a lot of the fighters were blow-over fighters. But I defeated a guy by the name of Jeff Ford (4-3) who just happens to be a world-known competitor in K-1. I beat him, and I beat guy by the name of Carlos Moreno (5-3), who's also competed in EliteXC. I did pretty good against him. I knocked him out as well."

Congradulations to all of the Unit 2 Fitness / Team Roberto Traven Pan American BJJ competitors!
