Interview with “Coach’s Blog” author and SSF Submission Academy’s Ron Dayley

| Jan 15, 2010 | 2 comments


Here’s a very cool interview with our very own “Coach’s Blog” author, Ron Dayley. The guys from ATO talk to Ron about some of his past experiences within the sport, such as his time at the Lion’s Den, and cornering Australian fighter Brad Morris when he fought Cain Velasquez at “UFC 83: Serra vs. St. Pierre 2″.

It was interesting to hear how after Ron agreed to manage Morris, he had a fight set up in the UFC two days later. That should be music to the ears of any up-and-coming pros out there looking for a good manager.

Ron not only manages fighters, he’s an agent, a promoter, trainer, and runs SSF Submission Academy in Clarksville, Tenn. He also has a great sense of humor, so go check out the archives of the weekly “Coach’s Blog” if you haven’t read it.

    lol, Thanks for the kind words Jack. But as you can see I am a total dork and have no interview skills, my hands do whatever they want and I like to throw the tomahawk chop for no reason will I am talking.
