Photos of MMA Star Vladimir Matyushenko
Read about my adventures sparring with "The Janitor" in today's issue of the Business Casual column. Sorry, no photos of us sparring. His training facility is at 321 Richmond St. in El Segundo. (Many thanks to Swedish documentarian Frank Aschberg for the top three photos.)

Here's the light heavyweight champion of the International Fight Leauge (right) with me.
Here's Matyushenko directing two female fighters during training. The woman on top is Shawni Young, who has an upcoming IFL title bout later this month.

Matyushenko doesn't look that menacing while on his motor scooter. I would have imagined he drives a Harley instead.
One way to train is to use a sledge hammer to pound a giant tire.
