There is no other sport that has evolved over the last 30 years the way that MMA has.

In my personal opinion, the biggest evolutions have come in the last 5-10 of those years. It's an incredible rarity to have the opportunity to chat with someone who is still active, winning, and fighting like he's never missed a step after 20 years of time in the sport.
Sean "P-Town" Wilson is that person.
Based out of Omaha, NE Sean has fought for ...
