More About Phil Hawes

Phil Hawes is at the very earliest stages of his career, and that’s the scary thing: he’s just that good so early. According to his fellow teammate, Jon Jones: "I think his potential is limitless. He's strong, he's smart, he learns fast, and I definitely think he's going to make an impact on the future of MMA." And we couldn’t agree more. Just watch one match with Phil Hawes, and you’ll see what the hype is about. He knows his way around a cage, and how to defeat an opponent, for sure!

Phil Hawes is an absolutely determined individual. His lives for the fight, and is entirely dedicated to training in every way possible. With early experiences in the Iowa Central Community College wrestling program, which transitioned rather smoothly into an MMA career, to have gotten such great success right from the start is no short measure. Hawes’ level of drive and work ethic are completely commendable, and if this is what he’s got going on at the earliest stages of his career, we cannot wait to see what else he’s got in store! When asked how he handles the sudden attention and fame, and having to face incredible names in the sport, Hawes said: "I take it in, but I take it with a grain of salt. I know that I've got a great team who are helping me with different applications, and my coaches believe in me. I take it with a grain of salt and keep working towards it and trying to prove them right."

The 27-year-old, New Jersey-based Blackzilian is also a member of the Jaco Hybrid Training Center. He stands at 6’ 0”, weighs in at 185 lbs, and is definitely one of the most fearsome middleweight fighters on the professional MMA circuit currently. He has a firmly rooted background in JUCO wrestling, and coupled with his intense training routine, (which some regard as the best training out there) it must be said that Phil Hawes has a lot going for him at the moment. With a 3-0 record, we totally cannot wait to see what he does when faced with Joshua Key tonight at WSOF!

WSOF 31

WSOF 31 promises to be an evening of riveting MMA fights. The fights are aplenty, and the night’s main card will feature two Team VaporFi athletes, as they go head-to-head for the title. Of course, as you very well know, Phil Hawes will be taking on his opponent, Joshua Key during one of the most hotly anticipated middleweight fights. Key, who currently has a 6-11 record, is a phenomenal fighter, and his MMA skills are extremely sharp; expect a sick bout with Hawes; he will most definitely present a fight worth talking about.
