Lew Polley—Seeking Greatness

By Dave Mikle

A multi-sport star in high-school and life-long wrestler, the move into mixed martial arts was a natural progression for Lew Polley.  A fierce competitor who “hates losing more than I like winning,” Polley’s accomplishments to date are merely “preparation for a future highlight.”   Dropping down to middleweight for the first time in his career, Polley envisions himself as top 5 in the division within 3 years.  As for what he wants to accomplish in his mixed martial arts career, Polley aims to have an umbrella of business under his fighting brand, and hopes to be remembered in the same light as the great Muhammad Ali.  Explained Polley, “I want to have a great legacy but I want my legacy to pale in comparison to the mention of my integrity and fighting spirit.”

MMAFA founder Rob Maysey sat down with Eddie Goldman to talk about the the goals of MMAFA and to shed a little more light on what the association hopes to achieve.

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with Rob Maysey, the founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA). This organization seeks to establish an association of mixed martial artists and their trainers, similar to other such organizations which already exist in many professional sports.
