Local guy who still may come through is Jonny Parsons. Im actually really close with him, he used to coach me and lives around the corner. Mats in his garage and we used to just work on my striking and shoot the shit about Thai Fighters from the 80's (i dont talk about MT here because im a fucking nerd and can go on and on and on and literally no one curr). If it weren't for knee injuries, he'd be a top 15 lw in the UFC, no question. His striking is on a whole nudda level. His hands are a whole nudda ballgame. It would take the Barbozas and Conors of the world to stop him on the feet. Thankfully he trains with UFC guys and if he can get his weight back down, expect a run. Only 25, been taking fights at MW and LHW because of his injuries, but he's down a lot of weight.
Timestamped. Legkicks. My words. I've sparred with the other guy too and he's not a fucking scrub whatsoever, legit striker, I stayed the fuck away from his power.
Also, poor Shonie
No reason Jonny can't be a top level guy in the UFC. His sole losses have been a literal like 3 day notice fight and a cut stoppage. Spent a long time in Thailand. His biggest problem besides injuries is his heart, and I don't mean dedication wise, I mean he is just so focused on coaching and doing good by others that he stymies his own progress a bit. I've never met a more altruistic young lion in this game. Just won a MW title in a smaller promotion by a brutal KO, down about 30lbs, if he keeps going he's going to fuck some bigger names up with no problem at all.
Sorry that's longwinded, I just have so much love for this dude.
