bonebreaker.jpg

I ran into Fabiano Iha, a former Ultimate Fighting Champion, who since 1990 has amassed an impressive record -- 20 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws. He's knocked out five and made 15 other challengers submit -- four of whom broke their arms trying to resist. He's been knocked out three times and lost two matches by decision. The guy who earned a reputation for breaking arms on the mat owns Xtreme Training Center -- XTC -- and like a martial arts master he demonstrates his moves daily to aspiring grapplers in Northeast Los Angeles. He also trains actor Vin Diesel and other stars.
