Adapting to a new challenge, Kaşım Ruffin, a 2-0 professional MMA fighter, takes on Brandon Grimmett, a 1-15 professional MMA fighter, in Combat Jiu-Jitsu, where open-handed strikes are permitted.

Ruffin trains out of House of Muay Thai in Norfolk, VA and represents Team XCWT. He is steadily climbing the ranks at bantamweight and featherweight on the East Coast, joining a number of high level fighters and that have come from, and continue to excel in all areas of the art at House of Muay Thai.

But Ruffin’s so-far sterling MMA record can’t guarantee and answer to Grimmett’s tenacity. Representing Dogtown MMA in Trinity North Carolina, Ruffin’s 16 professional MMA bouts have almost always ended with a stoppage, proving that Grimmett is a scrapper with no shortage of heart.
