Six Questions with Jason
"Dynamite" Dent
NAAFS.tv recently caught up with Jason "Dynamite" Dent for our exclusive Six Questions Interview series:
1. Can you please let the fans know how the healing process is coming along on your arm? My arm is healing up nice. It should be stronger than it was before. I'm just working hard on getting back any lost muscle I lost with the whole process due to being in the cast for so long.
2. Donny Walker is fighting Mike Nesto this Saturday for the NAAFS Pro Series Featherweight Title at Rock N Rumble. What is it like preparing someone like Donny, who has tons of experience, for a big fight as a opposed to an amateur who is just starting out? It's a lot more fun preparing someone like Donny for a big fight then it is some of our guys who are brand new. I've been friends with Donny since second grade so we go way back that's for sure. Donny is extremely coachable and hard working and I can't wait for his fight with Nesto.
3. Outside of your teammates at GriffonRawl, who is your favorite fighter to watch? Hmmm? I can't say I really have a set favorite, but I will name some of my favorite fighters to watch. My top five guys would have to be Vitor Belfort, BJ Penn, Randy Couture, GSP, and Anderson Silva. My first ever UFC that I got to watch on PPV was UFC 12 "Judgment Day" where Vitor debuted and won a four man tournament.

The Columbus fight fans will be treated to a night of hard hitting action at this taped for TV event, which will include two Pro Series Champions in action live defending their respective titles!
Interim Lightweight Champion Daniel Straus (19-4) defends his title for the first time against undefeated 2008 National Amateur Lightweight Champion Josh "Buzzsaw" Johnson (9-0) in a 5 round championship bout. Straus made an immediate impact on the Lightweight division, defeating "Smokin" Joe Heiland at Night of Champions 2009 and following that up with a win over Frank "The Tank" Caraballo at Caged Fury 9 to capture the gold. As an amateur, Johnson lived up to his moniker of "Buzzsaw" by plowing him everyone in his path. Since turning pro, he has brought that same level of intensity and is looking to join an elite list of competitors who have won both amateur and professional gold in the NAAFS.

The NAAFS Presents Eve of Destruction: Ohio's First Ever All Female MMA Event
The NAAFS is pleased to present Ohio's first ever all female MMA event Eve of Destruction on Saturday September 18th from Chapparell's Center in Akron, OH. This event will feature both professional and amateur fights as the women of the NAAFS take center stage for one of the most historic events to ever take place inside the NAAFS cage.
The main event at Eve of Destruction will be a professional bout in the 125 lbs division that will see Marissa "Shorty" Caldwell (4-1) of Vision MMA take on 2009 National Amateur Women's Champion Jessica "Evil" Eye (6-0) of Strong Style Fight Team. Caldwell enters this battle having won four of her last five fights and her only defeat coming at the hands of former Strikeforce #1 contender Jan Finney. Training at Vision MMA alongside names like current Interim Pro Series Lightweight Champion Daniel Straus, Caldwell is no stranger to entering enemy territory for a fight. Jessica Eye is coming off a successful pro debut at Fight Nite in the Flats VI, where she defeated Amanda LaVoy by TKO in the second round. Now Eye returns to battle, looking to pick up her second professional victory and to defend the honor of her hometown crowd. Will it be a successful homecoming for the Strong Style standout or business as usual for Vision MMA's rising female star?
