We are proud to say we have another CHAMPION at Bam Bam. “The Fighting Son of Texas” Cody Phillips put on a great fight February 18th at the LEGACY Amateur Combat Series and won the 155 lbs. Title Championship Belt against Austin Franks. Cody has been a fighter and Instructor of Bam Bam Martial Arts for the past 4 years. Congrats Cody!!!
“By gutting out the last two rounds and winning the fight despite a broken foot (and possibly arm too), Cody showed a maturity befitting a professional fighter. We didn’t get to see him work on the ground but from what I’ve heard, he’s alright there. What we did see was excellent footwork and attacking in bursts to keep his opponent off-balance. Not lost in all this was that he was fighting an excellent opponent in Austin Franks, who is no slouch in his own right as far as a boxer and mixed martial artist. Cody was able to sway the fight to his advantage using his speed and command of the cage. A little fine tuning here and there and Cody will be very tough to handle at the pro level.” says the website www.txmma.com
