Chism may be unknown to locals, but he’s the real deal. He’s been in the ring with a D1 wrestling champion, a TUF veteran, had over 20 fights, and fought all around the country. Dan, a wrestler by trade, stood toe-to-toe for practically the entire fight with a guy nicknamed (“Bedtime”) for his ability to knock people out. It’s a real testament to how Dan’s game has evolved. Keefe showed all the composure and conditioning of a true pro and I couldn’t be prouder of his performance.

Congrats again, Dan!

For those of you who don’t know, Dennis Olson has had seven fights over the past 13 months. He has won six straight and is undefeated at 170lbs. His only loss occured while fighting out of his weight class (185lbs) on the national stage (Bellator Fighting Championships).

I was very impressed with John Manley’s skill and heart. He was tough to plan for and even tougher to fight. Marco and the rest of Team Link were nothing but class including offering Dennis a water in the cage following the three round battle.

We at Gracie Barra New Hampshire are very proud of Dennis, John and Shelby!
