The first person I look up to is a proffesional bodybuilder named Kai Greene. He was born July, 12th in Brooklynn, NY. For ten years Kai Greene had to move form foster home to foster home. As he went through this he found weight training to help him overcome everything. Most people don't know this but out of all his talents he had a desire to be a visual artist. He combined his two passions, weight lifting and art, and connected them together. So he became his own model. He spent most of his middle school traveling to different shows and taking teen titles. After Kia Greene recieved second place for the first time he decided to start packing on wait to show how much of a freak of nature he really was. Before Kia Greene turned 19 years old he became a proffesional with an organization and was the youngest natural pro bodybuilder in the world.As a natural athlete, Kai Greene wanted to win the Team Universe and become pro with the IFBB through the Amateur World Championship. In 1999, after being unsuccesful twice, Kai won the heavyweight division and overall title at the Team Universe! This shows what passion and desire Kai Greene has for bodybuilding. I look up to him because it's almost impossible for somebody who has had such a hard childhood to find something they are passionate about and work so hard to be the best they can be possibly. I just home someday I can be so passionate about something.

I will start off by saying that Chuck Lidell is a freak of nature. The best fights I have ever seen are from this guy. He has knocked out so many people, he has one of the best boxing and kicking combinations I have ever seen. My dad and I used to watch Chuck Liddell fight all the time before he retired. Most people would say he should work on his takedowns and ground attack, but with such good standup fighting he really doesn't need to worry about that. Not only was he a beast at fighting, but he also appeared in many television shows, commercials, and was even in a music video, Rockstar by Nickelback. Chuck Liddell is 6"2', same height as me, and he weighs 205 pounds, however i weigh a little bit more than that. He did many different forms of mixed martial arts including,
Kenpō Karate, Koei-Kan Karate, Kickboxing, Wrestling. His outsanding fighting record is Total 29
Wins 21
By knockout 13
By submission 1
By decision 7
Losses 8
By knockout 6
By submission 1
By decision 1. As you can see Chuck Liddel was a dynasty and a legacy in the UFC.


Ronda Rousey UFC Bantamweight Champion." http://www.rondamma.com/. N.p.. Web. 25 Feb 2013. <http://www.rondamma.com/>.
Ronda Jean Rousey  was born February 1, 1987 and  is an American mixed martial artist and judoka. She is the first and current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, as well as the former Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion. She has finished all of her opponents by armbar in the first round. Rousey became the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in Judo at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008. 
Rousey number 1 pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world, according to MMARising, MMAWeekly, and many other publication, she is also ranked number 1 at 135 pounds according to the Unified Women's MMA Rankings.
Rousey trains under famous fighters Gokor Chivichyan of the Hayastan MMA Academy and Edmond Tarverdyan of the Glendale Fighting Club. She is part of Team Hayastan in Santa Monica, California. She is managed by Darin Harvey of Fight Tribe MMA. It still blows my mind how she has achieved all this. When she was a little girl her dad got hurt and had only two years to live, he didn't want his children to see him die so he went to an old pond, hooked a hose from his exhaust to the inside of his car, started his car, and went to sleep, and died. Ronda also suffered from a speech impediment when she was little, people used to make fun of her so she tried homeschooling, but ended up dropping out. With no high school education she is now The Woman's Bantamweight Champion of the World. That is why I look up to her.
