November 16th marks the third event for 247 Fighting Championships when Brawl in the Burgh 2 takes place at Printscape Arena in Canonsburg, PA. A dozen fighters from the Western Pennsylvania area will be on the card, supported by plenty of friends and family. Much of that support is from the mma community, where fighters will tell you the bond they develop with training partners, coaches and team mates is as strong as a family bond. One of the fighters making the trip in, from Florida, for his bout is Yuri Villefort, But MMA FanCast's Jim and Luke would caution you to call him an outsider. Villefort, who trains at Fight Sports Miami, will be fighting in the co-main event. He has strong ties to Pittsburgh, having been here several times to visit family and friends and to teach and train at Indio Dojo, an mma school in the Pittsburgh area owned and run by his brother, Danillo Villefort. He understands what drives Pittsburghers and his blue collar, gritty and grinding fight style is a perfect match for what they want to see. He'll have plenty of friends and family in the crowd to see him in action and wants to make the most of his time with them. Though Villefort says he's not overlooking his opponent, he has a plan to get on with the night and his family. Click the link to hear what it is.
