We're digging back pretty far into the Archives this week:
Din Thomas made his UFC debut against BJ Penn waaay back in June 2001. He ended up losing via TKO, but a debut agains BJ is nothing to turn your nose up at...
After his debut, Din went on to beat some pretty tough competition. He now boasts wins over Matt Serra (majority decision), Rich Clementi (rear naked choke), Clay Guida (unanimous decision), and Jeremy Stephens (armbar) all under the UFC banner. He ended up going 5-2 in the UFC before moving on to fight in some smaller organizations.
On October 30, 2007, shortly before his farewell performance in the UFC Din was arrested on a charge of "felony prohibited competitions" at his gym in Port St. Lucie, Florida.
Way to go Coppers... you arrested a man who was holding "competitions" in his gym... with his students... in a MMA gym... have I mentioned this was in an MMA GYM??
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the puropse of an MMA gym is to teach MMA...
Yeah, that's right, you can't correct me because I am right. All charges were dropped because ::SURPRISE:: since the participants in these competitions were students at the school, and the school's purpose was to teach them MMA they met the requirements to be exempt from that law...
Wow, I think that one deserves a donut, Sir.
