Antonio Banuelos Talks Tats and Training with BJ Aug-30-2010 By Frank Curreri If you have followed the career of Antonio Banuelos, current teammate and former roommate of Chuck Liddell, then you may have noticed the 5’3 fighter’s ongoing love affair with body ink. The many symbols and words that adorn the bantamweight’s body are the result of a unique tradition he began with his MMA debut nine years ago: After every fight, win or lose, Banuelos adds another tattoo. I recently had a conversation with this colorful gent, who discussed his weeks of training with BJ Penn, his fascination with skin art, and his upcoming fight with Chad George at WEC 51. Curreri: You went out to Hawaii to help BJ Penn get ready for his rematch with Frankie Edgar. How did that come about? Banuelos: I helped him train before for one of his fights – a fight with Caol Uno years ago — and he gave …

2009 USAT Financial Statement Overview
Jessica Long won the gold medal in the Taekwondo Individual Forms Competition at the AAU Junior Olympic Games held July 31-Aug. 7 in Hampton Roads, Va. Long, of McHenry, won in the 10 and 11-year-old advanced division. She also was the Illinois state champion. “She competed against the best in the country,” said Jerry Keys, owner of Key’s Martial Arts Academy, where Long trains. “It’s a real big deal.” Long also qualified for the AAU national tournament a year ago, but the results this year were dramatically different. “She didn’t do too well,” Keys said of Long’s performance last year. “I think nerves got a hold of her.” That experience might have played a part in her desire to push herself to train harder. Her expectations heading into the national competition were high. “I actually thought I was going to do pretty well,” Long said. “I trained very…

Courtesy of Fullerton Athletics FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton’s intercollegiate wrestling program will be terminated at the conclusion of the 2010-11 season. The action was considered at the end of the 2009-10 season, but the program was given the opportunity to continue operating if it could fund its own annual budget. An extensive fund-raising campaign for 2010-11 came up short of the $196,145 cash deposited goal by the Aug. 2 deadline. All eight pre-existing scholarships will be honored until the student-athletes’ eligibility would have expired. Wrestlers who wish to transfer to other schools will be given blanket releases. “It is with great sadness that we must eliminate a great Olympic sport that has a long history at Cal State Fullerton,” said Director of Athletics Brian Quinn. “Due to severe budget cuts in the CSU system and the large increases in the costs of an athletic scholarship, we have not replaced full-time staff members who have left and have found it necessary to look …
