Shawn Stefanelli

Shawn Stefanelli looking to make it 4-0 at CES 52 in South Philadelphia

Shawn Stefanelli has a very nice team helping to prepare him for the fourth fight of his career .  Jerry Bradley is guiding him in the right direction at Grindhouse MMA. One of the top professional fighters in the region, Sean Brady, has helped Shawn improve on a steady basis as well as James Booth, who is an elite Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Recently, I visited Grindhouse to interview Shawn.  When asked about how he got his start in MMA, he told me

” I wrestled in school and then I laid on my couch for 6 years.  I was watching a UFC card, laying on the couch talking to a friend on the phone and he said you should do this.  The next day, I joined a gym.”

Fast forward less than two years later and Shawn is 3-0 and rising up the prospect board.  He takes on a 2-0 Jace Kendall and only one will remain undefeated.  Check out our interview below. Warning: Shawn has a potty mouth LOL.  But he is a real guy and loves to fight.  He promises to bring the heat when the collision takes place on the 17th.

From the lowest level, to the highest, he only cares about the two warriors who do battle once the cage doors close. Everything else is secondary. Without their blood, sweat, and tears, he would not be here enjoying every minute.
