Dustin Long Looks to Be No. 1 Contender in LT. HWT Division at RFL

Dustin Long will be pitted against Sam “Third Degree” Burns next Friday when the Rising Fight League comes to Morristown, TN.  Long holds a record of 3-1 and trains with Brenden Bohannon in BJJ of Tuco O Tapa, Dustin Walden of D-evil in Stand-up and in Boxing with Brad Austin. 

Long has been training in MMA for a year. He feels that the fight will be fast-paced and exciting, and hopes that Burns is in perfect shape. Long has been training two to three times a day for several hours at a time, and is very confident in his abilities to defeat Burns.

Long says that, in the near future, his goal is to be the No. 1 205-er in TN, and that he is already the sexiest!

No doubt about it, if he wins the fight against Burns, it will put him one step closer to being No. 1.

Long, who stands 6’4", has a sizeable reach advantage over Burns who is 6’1". Long’s reach is 80 and with his fast feet hands and honed boxing skills, it may prove to be an obstacle for Burns.  When speaking with Long, he shared with me that he feels that whoever has been training the hardest will get his hand raised in victory.

Mr. Sexy hopes that Burns can handle a loss and living with the idea he will not be the No. 1 contender.  Long is ready and raring to go, and can’t wait for his chance to shine.  Long stated that, after he defeats Burns, he would like to immediately fight the current LT. HWT RFL Champion Jeremy Thurman.  Long looks forward to this challenge with great anticipation. He is counting down the days until he comes face to face with the man who is standing in his way of getting one step closer to the LT. HWT Title.

He would like to thank Dr. Berman’s Chiropractic, Resolution Weight Loss Clinic and Phil Bachman Toyota.
