Former champ and UFC vet Joe Brammer set to return at MCC 36
After vacating his lightweight belt to chase stardom in the superbowl of mixed martial arts; the UFC, Joe “The Hammer” Brammer returns home in an effort to resurrect his career and claw his way back to the big show.
Joe Brammer has had an exciting 24 months. He’s faced rising star Mark Bocek and long time competitor in his two UFC appearances. He’s enjoyed the sunny beaches of San Diego, California while soaking up the techniques of MMA’s who’s who, and he’s returned home and built one of the most successful new martial arts training centers in the area.
With things somewhat settled down he has returned back to training and recently began his camp in preparations for his next appearance; a meeting with gritty slugger Jeremy Castro on September 23.
Brammer, whose greatest influence is Bruce Lee believes in the master’s philosophy; Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it’, which basically translates to: know a little bit of everything, do not focus on one area of martial arts but rather focus on all aspects of game. And, that’s a perfect way to describe Joe Brammer’s style. On the feet he moves with the swiftness of a professional boxer while throwing an array of Thai and karate-type kicks. On the ground he’s as fluid as water; always hunting for a submission and staying one move ahead of his opponent.
Now that a fight is set with Castro, Brammer will look to sharpen up his skills in order to make a statement to the MMA community. Certainly a win over a tough as nails opponent would kick his career back into high gear.
MCC offficials said, “Castro has knock out power in both hands and he’s tough to submit. He’ll fight hurt, bloody, and on one leg if he needs to. Joe is not getting an easy fight, and in Jeremy’s case, a win over a UFC vet like Joe Brammer has a big upside. This is an important fight for both of them.”
Nutrishop presents; MCC 36: “Back in Action”, Friday, September 23 at Hy Vee Hall, downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The fight card will also feature long-time vets Ronnie “Warfrog” Britt and Josh “Bull” Christensen as well as rising star Luis Saldana and others. More exciting bouts are expected to be announced later this week. For ticket information, fighter interviews, video’s and blogs, check out the web site.

Most people, from the moment he stepped into the cage as an amateur, expected Laramie Shaffer to be a wrestler.
