On our Wednesday February 18th Ground & Pound show we named the Top 10 Amateur Fighters in the 170 pound weight class. Below is the results from the show. If you are a amatuer fighter weighing in at 170lbs there are only two ways to get on the list. The first is to convince me Andy Klearman that you belong on the Top Ten list and the second way and most undisputeable way is beat somebody on the list. The game is on! #1 Tim Smock 8-1 Fighting out of CMMA Granite City under Steve Knogl, Jay D'Amato #2 Lance Benoist 11-0 Fighting out of Team Vaghi/St. Charles MMA under Mike Rogers #3 Brian Kleck 11-1 Fighting out of 21st Century Self Defense under Bennie Voyles #4 James Marino 4-1 Fighting out of The War Room #5 Jim Sperry 3-0 Fighting out of Berger MMA under Steve Berger #6 Jack Johnson 2-0 Fighting out of Berger MMA under Steve Berger #7 Dan Shaffercotter 3-0 Fighting out of The Boxing Gym Florissant #8 Brandon Dudley 3-0 Fighting out of Team Vaghi/St. Charles MMA under Mike Rogers #9 Samir Pilipovic 2-1 Fighting out of CMMA St. Louis under Jay D'Amato, Steve Knogl #10 Gene Bryant 1-1 Fighting out of Andre's MMA under Jermaine Andre Special Mentions: JC Sibala 1-0 fighting out of Team Vaghi/St. Charles MMA under Mike Rogers Michael Simon 1-0 Fighting out of Stand Your Ground Josh Westin fighting out of Farmington MO.
