Jim Theobald was awesome. I remember Adam Miller saying grappling with him was like grappling a gorilla.
I think he became a Wheeling fireman.
Bart vs clay guida was the most insane fight I’ve been too. It was McHenry county divided and everyone was getting into it. Some big Mexican started beating up his blonde white gf during the fight. That girl could take punches and keep on her feet. Security excorted him out. Been to ufc but when two local guys go at it the crowds passion is way more

This is nuts, we were all at this event.
Another name, Ryan “The Rhino” Sturdy was living at my buddy’s house to train with his dad, Chris W., for years on his way up to eventually Bellator.
He was a long time XFO fighter.

Oh man…
I went to some little show that Jeff and Dan Lardy put on in Countryside…it wasnt an XFO, i forget what the show was called.
I nrought some guy with me from work who wasnt into this scene and had never been to a mma show.
The place was almost empty, no crowd whatsoever.
Schnake was announcing a fight, all amped up, and when he finishes my buddy goes “this guy sucks”…in this empty crowd you could hear it thrpugh the entire place…i thought Schnake was going to fight my buddy

As much as it sucks this local legend passed.
That’s a funny story, and I’m sure it was hilarious after the fact.
