John Rallo was a 3 sport HS athlete who got into MMA fighting by accident. Using his wrestling and background, he found initial success going undefeated and even earned a spot on the Ultimate Fighter. An ACL injury forced him to overcome his ego and shift his focus. He found a mentor in Renzo Gracie, earned a 4th degree black belt, grew his own training school with multiple locations, advocated to get MMA legalized in Maryland and committed himself to serving his local community. His mindset is simple, “You either win or you learn.”
