Last night was a special one at Barnyard MMA.
We’re incredibly proud to congratulate Sebastian on earning his brown belt after an absolutely brutal one-hour shark tank that he pushed through all the way to the very end.
Sebastian (aka Seabass) has been a student of mine for eight to nine years, and during that time he’s been so much more than just a teammate. He’s been a great friend, a leader on the mats, and someone who always brings positive energy to everyone he trains with. Whether it’s sharing rounds, competing, or just showing up day after day.
He’s performed well in competition, but what really stands out is how he’s helped me grow — finding gaps in my game, pushing me as a coach, and sharpening me as a student of the craft. That’s not something everyone can say.
To say I’m proud of Sebastian would honestly be an understatement. Brown belt takes years of effort, setbacks, frustration, and perseverance, and last night he proved exactly why he earned it.
We’re excited for the future and proud to have Sebastian continuing this journey with Barnyard MMA — even if after that shark tank, he might be plotting his revenge on all of us 😂
Well earned, brother. 🟫🥋🐂💪
