Team Hybrid Amateur Fighter Wins!

May 21st, 2010

Congratulations to new Team Hybrid fighter Lee Marvin Rahrlein won his  MMA fight at Knock-Em-Out Nation in Chesapeake VA  this Friday, May 19th at the Khedive Templar. Lee took the fight with only a weeks notice and still managed to defeat his opponent in 2 minutes 30 second of round 1 via rear naked choke.

Lee is fresh off of a victory at Modern Gladiators in April, defeating another local from Modern Academy of Mixed Martial Arts with very short notice and little training. Lee shows great promise as a fighter and Team Hybrid Head Coach Buck Grant is looking forward to properly training him for future fights to come.

Special thanks to Coaches Pete Yates and Chris Buckner for cornering Lee during his victory.
