Quotes about DZO
“Dwayne is incredibly versatile in his fighting style,” Professor Womack stated. “You never know what he’s going to throw at you, whether it’s a powerful slam, a devastating right hand, a swift kick to the head, or a surprise jumping spin kick. He’s always keeping his opponents guessing.”
“Folks, we’ve got a real treat in store for you in tonight’s main event. Dwayne Shelton and Ryan McIntosh are two of the most exciting fighters in the game right now, and they’re both ready to put on a show. Shelton’s got a ton of power in his hands and a submission game that’s second to none, while McIntosh is a well-rounded striker who’s always looking for the finish. This is gonna be a war, folks. I can’t wait to see these two go at it. Make sure you don’t miss a second of the action, stay tuned for the main event of the night!”
“Holy s***, folks! That was one hell of a fight. Ryan McIntosh came out strong, looking for that early knock out, but Dwayne Shelton was not to be underestimated. He held his own on the ground and ultimately secured the submission win at 3:57 in the first round. Shelton’s training clearly paid off. This guy is a force to be reckoned with and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him rise through the ranks in the near future. And let’s not forget about the heart that McIntosh showed, he took some heavy shots but he didn’t give up and kept pushing till the end. Overall, it was an amazing fight and a great showcase of the talent in the Battleware Fighting Championships.”
“That was one hell of a fight folks! Dwayne Shelton came out there with a game plan and executed it perfectly. He showed a ton of heart and determination, and it was clear that he’s got some serious power in his hands. Cole Miller is no slouch either, he took some big shots but was able to recover quickly and keep going. Dwayne also showed off his grappling skills with that suplex, it was a thing of beauty. But in the end, it was Cole who came out on top with that choke hold, I think it was at the end of the third round. What a performance by both fighters, that’s why we love this sport!”
“Amir is a force to be reckoned with. He’s got a great camp behind him with the likes of Dwayne ‘Diesel’ Shelton at Combat Sports Center in Richmond, VA. Dwayne has been instrumental in fine tuning Amir’s skills and putting together a highlight reel that’s sure to impress the judges on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 7’. I can’t wait to see what Amir brings to the octagon, he’s got the potential to be a real contender.”
