To New Beginning, Our Mission & About Us!

New Beginnings:

This entire website is about new beginnings — building the first truly international online fan base for fist fighting and Muay Thai. It doesn't matter what country you're from, what language you speak, or which fighter you're rooting for. If you're passionate about combat sports, you belong here.

Our Mission:

To become the largest global online community for fans who are deeply passionate about combat sports and the fighters who compete in them.

This community is rooted in Russian bare-knuckle fighting, and specifically in TopDog Fighting Championship — the promotion that started it all for us. Muay Thai holds a close second place in our hearts, since both fan bases share the same fierce, unshakable loyalty to their countries' fighters.

TopDogsRRN and its ownership remain open to expanding into other combat sports over time, as long as the passion behind them is real.

How...I found Topdog

About a year ago, my stepfather — who is 82 years old and lives alone — called me and told me he needed help. He could no longer take care of himself. So I loaded up my truck and drove 14 hours to spend a month with him — making his meals, taking him to doctor appointments, packing up his apartment, and eventually dropping him off at the airport to fly to Texas to live near my sister in Austin. Every night after he went to sleep, I watched TopDog. With Butch there right by my side fighting for more room on the couch cushions .

I fell in love with all of it — the fighting, the fighters, the raw energy of it. Cobra, The Doctor, Chibis, Kratos, even Ebosher. I couldn't believe what I was watching. But more than the fighting itself, what got me was the mutual respect — between the fighters, between the fighters and their fans, and between everyone and the promotion itself. I was completely hooked.

Where... I come from

Before that trip to help my stepfather, my life had gone through some serious changes. After 20 years of marriage and having three sons — Gavin, Ayden, and Brody — I got divorced. I was the one who wanted it. The last three years of that marriage felt like the final 45 seconds of a championship fight where you've already emptied your tank — no gas left and no air in your lungs.

After the divorce, things got harder before they got better. There were significant financial losses. I filed for bankruptcy. I moved into my camper. I was starting over from zero.

I'm sharing this not for sympathy — but so you understand exactly who you're dealing with. I am not a billion dollar company with a corporate budget. I'm just a passionate Topdog Fan who learned at 54 years old that I loved making video content. It's upload and outreach is further confirmation I'm on the right path and I need to be patient. These are just the facts!

Some Very Random Photos

  • Working / Paying The Bills

    When I'm not making Topdog Content or working on the rebranding of the website, I'm Doordashing to pay the bills. It's sucks, don't do it!!

  • Me and Butch

    Butch goes everywhere with me. I think I took this picture while we were driving up to take care of my step-father, I can't remember.

  • My Three Boys

    All three of us after dinner would go outside in the backyard and my two older boys would play two hand touch and I would be the quarterback. My youngest didn't know what to do, he just wanted to be a part of our madness.

  • The NY Giants

    I grew up very close to New York City and became a die-hard NY Giants fan. The Big Tuna, Lawrence Taylor, Mark Bravaro and Joe Morris. The old school days when the NFL was a contact sports. I just love this logo!

Why...TopdogsRRN exists

Over the past year I built the first English-language YouTube channel dedicated entirely to TopDog Fighting Championship. Growth has been slow — but the subscribers I have are some of the most passionate combat sports fans I've ever seen. They are all-in on TopDog, all-in on their favorite fighters, and hungry for more content.

Here's the truth about the US market: Americans barely know TopDog exists. They know BKFC — and with Conor McGregor now investing in that promotion, BKFC has real money and momentum behind it. But BKFC is nothing like TopDog. The authenticity, the fighters, the culture — TopDog is in a different category entirely. My goal is to make TopDogsRRN the go-to English language destination for everything TopDog in the United States.

On Trust and My Word.

I've learned a lot about the Russian culture and how they prefer to communicate over the course of the last year. I respect their simple approach towards understanding people, "Is this person trustworthy or not and do I respect them and do they respect men?". If I'm right, I prefer this black and white approach towards understanding people. In the US, we've moved away from this and I don't have the patiences for it anymore. In closing, this goes out to you, the community. More than 50% of my audience is International, Russian, German, Vietnamese, The UK, France and Kazakstan. Let me be honest about something.

We are on opposite sides of the world. You're in Russia or wherever and I'm in the US. You'll be able to make a judgement call on my character and personality rather quickly. Good or bad, it's not for me to decide.

My biological father told me something before he passed away that I've never forgotten. He looked me in the eye, shook my hand, and said: "My word is my bond." and that's how I operate. I will make mistakes, I promise, but I will also take ownership of them and make an attempt to correct them.

I've really left out Butch in this entire overview. But he would prefer it to be that way. Butch, like most dogs love there owners unconditionally, no strings attached. He comes pre-installed with this understanding and we do everything together. A single man with his Australian Cattle Dog! What's better than that?

You decide what is best for you!

I'm not going anywhere, so take your time, but hurry up already. I'm honestly just glad you came by and took a look around. Like you, I'm a normal dude who has a passion for Russian Bare Knuckle Fighting and specifically TOPDOG. ONLY TOPDOG!
