"We go out there, we do our thing ....... and it just elevates our team." Lots to gather from that one simple statement. When you watch an mma event, most viewers just take in the spectacle of a one on one fight. Behind the scenes, though, there's so much more than the two fighters inside the cage and John De Jesus is proof that success is not done alone. Coming off 2 consecutive KO/TKO victories, MMA FanCast caught up with the 247 Fighting Championships featherweight champ to talk about what's next. De Jesus, who trains at The Academy: Martial Arts and Fitness in Pittsburgh, will make his first title defense on March 14th at Printscape Arena for Brawl In The Burgh 3. His teammates push him at every practice, only drawing the line when it's time to go home. It's one of the reasons why he talks about "we" and "team". Listen in now for the rest of the reasons.
