Brad Bradley

Fighter profile of Brad Bradley by

Brad "BB Gun" Bradley was, like many of the wprld's greatest things, discovered by accident.  His manager, Jimmy Jason, discovered him while watching a  regional MMA fight on the internet during a rainy mid-summer day.  Seeing the Bradley was unsigend, Jason raced to his cell as soon as the match to contact the 19 year old fighter about the possibility of joining his Los Angeles based crew of promising young fighters.  After securing permission from his parents, Bradlet agreed to transfer to an online college in order to focus on his MMA career.  The first step was to get Bradley from his hometown of Montreal to Los Angeles, where Jason is based.  Jason booked the young fighter tickets for a September 21st flight to LA.  Meanwhile, Jimmy Jason got in touch with a manager and business owner named Rodrigo Olivera.  Jason had contacted Olivera about the possibility of securing a sponsorship from his clothing company, Torment Fightwear, for one of his other fighters, Case Cassidy.  Not only did Olivera offer Cassidy a sponsorship, he also offered one to each of Jason's fighters, including Bradley.  In addition, he hooked Jason up with an LA based fight organization (Torment MMA) for Bradley.  A deal was soon reached, and Bradley's career was looking up.

However, before he began to fight with TMMA, Bradley and Jason agreed that it would be best for him to fight some QFCs to build his hype and skill set.  After securing permission from TMMA to fight QFCs, Bradley made his debut against Matti Nieminem on August 31st at a QFC tournament in Montreal, losing in the first round by TKO.  Both Bradley and Jason recognized that he had been much to agressive in his first fight, and for his second fight, a QFC against Tim Kelly, altered the gameplan.  Both fighters fought brillianlty for the first two rounds, but Bradley dominated the third round to win a unanamous desicion, showing what a truly dangerous fighter he could be.

Bradley is a BJJ blue belt who is also a good MT fighter, but his greatest skill is his striking and natural KO power.  Bradley is very agressive and is a threat to score a KO at any time.  At 180 centimeters, 183 punds, he is long and lanky.  He currently fights in the 170 pound weight class.  He trains weekly at the Champions Creed 2 Elite Gym in Montreal, and will join a new gym once he reaches LA.  He will make his official TMMA debut on October 10th at Hard Knocks Arena in LA in a three point must 170 pound cage match against Lucas Mcduphus at WOTLA 15.
