170lb Prospect Josiah Harrell fought off 16-dogs to deliver FedEx package

Interview with Josiah Harrell above

Josiah Harrell (5-0) recaps his third-round TKO victory over John Ramirez (6-6) at Ohio Combat League 18 on Mar. 5. Josiah also spoke about his plans for the rest of the year, UFC aspirations and working his day job at FedEx where he’s had to deal with some unusual circumstances.

“There’s this place, I’m not going name the address, but they have 16-dogs free running around there. I’ll walk and then the first alpha will come up to me, smell me, and then he’ll kind of go on his way. And then I’ll let everyone else smell me and I have the package. If they jump me, I can’t do anything. I’m just trying not to flinch or anything. I let them smell me and eventually their either walk away or they’ll stay close. Just try not make any crazy movements and deliver the package. The last thing I want to do is jumped some dogs.”
