About Marco »

I come from an Itallian background. A living cliche. Born in Brooklyn, Catholic, and full of hot gas.

That being said I have a beautiful 6 year old daughter. She has already been taking jui-jitsu classes for almost a year now. She also likes swimming and soccer.

http://www.mmalinker.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=36949

Anyway Im pushing 40 years old now but I still compete when I am able in MMA events. I am 11-1 in NSF's 1 no contest. Right now I'm at Ultimate MMA in NYC, working my conditioning and ground game with a bunch of Brazilians I cant understand whatsoever. I'm hoping maybe Joe Lupoli can get me another fight before I become a senior citizen.

Anyway read my stuff and comment alot. Er....please and thank you.

lol man, I could never hate on the Bean. Although it does seem like a not-so-smart idea to fight MMA bouts coming in at a svelte 415 pounds.

If MMA has become popular ten years earlier, the Bean would be a legit heavyweight. Now, he's a sideshow.

Hence, the Minowa (my hero ... I think my next article is going to be solely on him) dropkick picture.
