James "Sandman" Irvin - MMA Trainer

Athletically gifted and personable, James “Sandman” Irvin has emerged as one of the most dynamic fighters in mixed martial arts. With his eight-second destruction of feared slugger Houston Alexander in April, James tied the record for the quickest knockout in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

With a record of 14-4, Irvin is not only a light heavyweight contender in the UFC – he’s also the head Muay Thai trainer at Ultimate Training Center. With extensive time spent in Thailand, James is the ideal trainer to help you learn the ancient and effective art of Muay Thai, incorporating “The Science of Eight Limbs” for self-defense, competition or just getting in shape. With an upbeat instruction style and plenty of experience in competition, James will help you push yourself, and your game, to the next level.

In addition to his win over Alexander, James has also scored memorable knockouts throughout his career. Currently signed with the UFC, he is one of the most exciting fighters in the sport.

On July 19, James faces UFC middleweight champ Anderson “The Spider” Silva in a light heavyweight bout on SPIKE TV. It’s Silva’s first foray into the division, and fans expect an exciting bout between two explosive strikers.
