TSR has been the premier MMA website for the Tidewater area for several months now. I have personally been telling you about the growth of the sport here in Hampton Roads and that we are going to have some fighters make it to the big stage in the near future.
That day is finally upon us as CNNSI has stated that local fighter Antwain Britt will be that guy. The Juggernaut, as he is called, is part of the UFC’s The Ultimate Fighter reality show.
This show has been the launching pad for more than 30 fighters. Athletes such as Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, and current 205 Champion Forrest Griffin all got their start on this nationally televised show.
Some of the biggest names in the history of the sport have also coached on the show, such as Matt Hughes, Randy Couture, Tito Ortiz, and Rich Franklin. The show will be televised weekly on Spike.

Antwain is a beast of a man. He is a product of Virginia Beach’s Hybrid Academy of Martial Arts. You have heard about Hybrid a few times on this site already. Britt is the type of fighter that is rare.

He seems to have concrete in his hands and has the ability to stop a wrestler’s shot. Depending on where you look you will see him with different records. For the show they are advertising him to have a 4-0 record.
Tons more about Antwain will follow in the future. TSR will provide weekly updates of the show and his progress as he pushes to showcase more of what the Tidewater area can produce.
