Joe is widely known as one of the most feared fighters to ever step into the Octagon! After holding a Professional title for King of the Cage (KOTC) and winning the Ultimate Fighter 2 Welterweight tournament, Joe went on to compete for the UFC and eventually moved down into the Lightweight division where he competed for a title.With a successful professional career spanning almost 20 years including signature victories over Nate Diaz, Melvin Guillard, Gleisan Tibau and many more, Joe now focuses his efforts into coaching athletes. Joe now operates Cobra Kai gym in Victorville, CA where he helps to train the next wave of fighters making their way into the top ranks of MMA.
We take great pride in having the experience and dedication that Joe brings to the table, as we continue to develop amateur MMA in the US with the vision of Olympic Recognition.
