This video shows how to wrap your hands using boxing handwraps for MMA gloves. It shows supporting the thumb, wrist and protecting the knuckles from abrasions when the mma glove slides. Armory Members should have your hands wrapped this way, with gloves on, for any of the MMA Fitness classes prior to class starting. This method of wrapping works for the Strength and Conditioning classes as well as Muay Thai.

GoFightLive.TV Presents: Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat XXIX
Tropicana - Atlantic City
Edward Guedes vs Carlos Fonseca

The striker Edson Junior is conquering his space in the ring and octagons in the MMA world right now. Undefeated in the sport, the Brazilian has won a belt in the "Land of Uncle Sam" and spoke with TATAME TV on his adaptation to the United States. "My yearning for family and friends is great, but thank God I can count on the support of Alex Davis, Joe Mullings, French Anderson, one of my teachers, and my new family here and in Brazil," said the fighter. Commenting on his expectations in the fighting world, "I enjoy fighting and I'm fighting MMA. This is my focus, I'm training and preparing myself every day more for mixed martial arts, the ground and standing. But if you fight standing I can fight that too, because Muay Thai is in my blood."

The original article was in Portuguese, here is the English translation:

Junior has lived in the US for 10 months. He recently had his third MMA fight. It was with the event Renaissance MMA, New Orleans, on November 20th. With a record of three fights and three victories, two coming fromKO's and one for submission. Junior had previously defeated Lee King to earn the championship belt. This fight was a re-match that was requested by King to try and win the belt back. Lee King had a substantial MMA record and experience against known fighters as Roger Huerta, Sean Sherk and Melvin Guillard.

In the first fight between the two, Júnior defeated the weight class Champion, Lee King with a knock-out in Round 2. Now, the Brazilian accepted the re-match putting the belt on the line and winning this time with a submission.

The fight started with with Lee King going for the takedown but Júnior kept him away with strong kicks and punches. It made it very difficult to King to take the fight to the ground. The Brazilian defended all of the attempted takedowns by King and finished the fight with his Jiu Jitsu when it finally did hit the ground. He finished the fight with an Anaconda choke. He successfully defended his title and retained the championship belt.

"The fight was good, I could work my ground game, I had some good ground and pound, and still finish the fight with a submission in first round. It was good to not only feel prepared with my standup but also in the Jiu-Jitsu, I have been training my BJJ since coming here to the United States", said Júnior.

The Brazilian wanted to not only thank those who are helping him develop here in the United States, but also those that had always been present in his rise in the MMA and the growth of his fight career. "I want to thank in first place the God. After that Joe, for all support that he has given me here in U.S.A., my family, to my master, Anderson France, to my professors of Jiu-Jitsu, my friends of Brazil and to the partners of trainings, Rafael Chavez and Eduardo Guedese, and to Pablo Popovitch, that also helped me very much. Also to all of those at the academy The Armory for the support", I am thankful.
