“Yosemite Sam” @yosemitesam_rs in what had to be the fight of the night pulled off a slugfest back and forth fight. The two combatants trading off segments to one another through three rounds before in the fourth Yosemite started nailing the coffin down with a standing eight count to close the round. Going into the fifth his demeanor shifted sensing the belt was in sight. He came off the stool meeting his opponent center ring to start what would be the end of the match with a deluge of furious hands stopping his opponent as the ref stepped in waving it off and declaring Nick the new Cali Fight 147lb Champion @califightseries Stablemate @lenabader26 fought her first sanctioned bout and although she came up short this time out the experience we needed is the experience we got. Back to the drawing boards for this young lady and her bright future ahead. As always although you may be alone in the ring it takes the villages effort in pulling our horses through the daily grinds of training and thanks to all who pour in the daily work building one another so we may test our skills under the lights of the real pressure cooker. Thank you @athsport.co @citizenwaterco @movementspecialistspt @revibeoc Forever @tenore on to the next! 8/16 title for Nick. 8/9 Cade & Lena. 7/25 @koryy_johnson & @nashclymer FUTURES BRIGHT ⚡️ by @yosemitdee

I learned Muay Thai from Ajarn Thongsai Sanhtytham in Eugene, Oregon. I then refined my craft at FA Group in Bangkok, Thailand and Rising Sons Thai Boxing in Newport Beach, California. Now I’m bringing everything I learned home to Irvine.

Starting Monday, July 27, Muay Thai is officially live at Phenom in Irvine. 14 classes a week: technical Muay Thai, Clinch + Padwork, and Fundamentals classes built specifically for beginners.

If you’ve never trained Muay Thai a day in your life, that’s exactly who the 2-Week Beginner Program is for. $80, two full weeks, zero experience required.

💰 $50 drop-in · $220/month unlimited · ages 12+
📍 Phenom BJJ — 16782 Von Karman Ave, Ste 22, Irvine

10/10/2026 I made the walk again
This year has been insane ups and downs in my personal life and in my fighting career.
But bite the fuck down and keep pushing
Show that fucking grit.
When the universe is looking down on you trying to Keep you low. look back at it and say fuck you Everything I’m doing is out of spite to the people who said I couldn’t.

Shout out to my opponent Shai we are friends and made the decision to fight again to help further careers in kickboxing and Muay Thai.

We had a war and left it all in that ring after hurting
Each other for 5 rounds I’m happy to say our friendship has stayed intact.

I wanna say thank you to @vitalforce.muaythai for believing in me and taking me in when I was going thru a rough time and was having a hard time getting out to my home gym @subfightermma coach Lee has treated me like family since day one.

I wanna shout out my corner men @disassociativeamnesia and @yosemitdee

Last weekend, a man and a woman became husband and wife. There was dancing, laughter, storytelling and many new memories that’ll last a lifetime. Thank you to my dear friend @billymonjay and his beautiful bride Liz for bringing together so many good people to witness a magnificent union.

Sometimes the great photos aren’t ringside. Also I think I will set my camera to black and white more often 🤔
