Liveblog: Fedor at TSMMA Manhattan

MMA Journalist is here at the Tiger Schulmann's MMA school in Manhattan, waiting patiently for some Russian dude named Fedor who is scheduled to visit the facility. For those who don't know, TSMMA is an organization encompassing 48 schools in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Florida, and their fight team is a key player in the Northeast MMA circuit. Their star player is Lyman Good, who won Bellator FC's welterweight tournament on ESPN Deportes; Good is actually here now teaching a grappling class (there are three classes being taught simultaneously - this place is huge). Anyway, Fedor is due to arrive in a few minutes. I asked if Fedor's visit is an indication that we'll see some TSMMA fighters in Strikeforce soon, maybe at an East Coast Strikeforce installment, but the folks here are feigning ignorance. Hmmmm...

Fedor To Appear At Manhattan TSMMA School Today

Yeah, so MMA Journalist missed the Fedor press conference yesterday at the Fighthouse where it was announced the Russian deity would be facing Brett Rogers at some upcoming Strikeforce show. However, Fedor is still in town, and will apparently be making an appearance at the Manhattan Tiger Schulmann's Mixed Martial Arts school tonight at 6:15. The school is at 39 West 19th Street, and as this won't create any conflicts with my day job, I will definitely be there to snap some pics this time. Woot!
