Lavonte Montgomery

It's a sunny day windy and fresh. Birds chirping.There's something in the air An aura champion like energy. With me is SanAntonio's own Lavonte Montgomery.

In fact we are here in Denver Heights Park today where L.V better known to the MMAcommunity as Da Street Sweepa grew up. Fist fights first kisses and everything in between from childhood to teen.

The now 25 yr old amateur mixed martial artist is giving MMA-IS-LIFE a bit of his time on this beautiful Monday afternoon.

This is an in-depth interview with the Street Sweepa followed by a photoshoot. Matter of fact these snapshots on these pages are of this moment here.

This is 2TenSports introduction to MMA-IS-LIFE articles. With this being the first batch of three you'll be getting per month.

So readers, this here is The Street Sweepa. I hope you all enjoy getting to know Mr Montgomery as he is a month or so away from marching down to Houston,Tx with his teamThe House of Jujitsu. HOJ which is located on beautiful downtown SanAntonioTx.

If you're ever around 823 S. Laredo st I recommend you stop by. It's a huge facility with good people.

Champ Camp

Is officially getting started for Da Street Sweepa today. Still in good shape physically as jus last month he was fighting at Port LavacaTx. ForTap or Scrap Promotions 5th installment.

That to was a title fight.Atitle fight for the honor of becomingT.O.S Promotions first 155lb champion. Against a much bigger opponent from Corpus Christi.

The night was bitter sweet as the HOJTeam went into Port LavacaTx to win a fight and bring home a title.The fight part went off according to plan. Montgomery came out with the win.

However as an amateur fighter with less than a handful of fights. Sometimes will have a hiccup.This hiccup though came in the form of missing the 155lb mark inorder to qualify to fight for the title. (Big Hiccup) knowing that win or lose he would have zero chances of leaving town a champion. His 6'1 light weight opponent would indeed be eligible to be crowned due to the fact he made the weight.All he needed to do was fight and beat Lavonte.

Disappointed drained and embarrassed L.V showed what type of person and fighter he is by making the trip and go on to fight.

"Honestly with all due respect to my opponent i was coming into town last month with the intention of putting him in a stretcher. If need be i too was mentally prepared to get taken out in one myself if need be."

That was last month however.The future is next month May 21st FuryFC 80 in HoustonTexas. Ramping up the training doing two a day sessions. Not to mention helping coach the kiddos. Tomorrow's ninjas.

Many pints of sweat and hard work is definitely being put in these weeks for the Street Sweepa. Grinding there with him through this champ camp are a well organized coaching staff with tons of knowledge.

There's new MuayThai coach, Coach Zumbi out of Brazil who's trained the greatAnderson Silva before. CoachTodd, Coach David on jits. Coach Passion with that Sambo as well as Coach Gunnar

It's ran by the man who envisioned invested and created the squad head coach Jacob Landin. Who together L.V and Coach Landin have grown a special brotherly bond. On top of an already strong coach/pupil kinship.

As they're hunt for gold nears.These hours and hours of preparation for next months invasion of yet another city on a 2nd hunt for 10lbs of gold.The Denver Heights scrapper is looking sounding and shining like a champion.

All he has to do now is march on over to the 7-1-3 and turn all this hard work into championship gold. So from MMA-IS-LIFE and the whole 2-1-0 we wanna say lesss gooo Lavonte
