John Alessio and his success story
John Alessio is a Canadian by birth, born at Vancouver in the year 1979. He was born and bred in Canada until he was nineteen years old and then later moved out of the city to pursue his goal of becoming a world famous fighter. When John left his city, the only thing that he had in mind were his dreams and faith in himself, which gave him strength to find his way. Although he was an excellent athlete, he wished himself to become a fighter.
He began his training with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in California at the Shark Tank. He became a polished fighter and performed amazingly well in his first ten fights to add 7-3 records to his pocket. Fighting had been a passion and professional sport for John Alessio. However, he has been very keen on other sports like biking. He took part in BMX trick biking and performed very well in this sport too. He has been a keen sportsman, who wishes to perform well by giving his best always and in each and every sport he takes part in. His sportsmanship and hard work have earned him laurels because of which he called as “The Natural”.
With continuous training and concentration John Alessio became an experienced fighter but the ultimate fame came to his name when he won a four-man tournament organized in Hawaii. With this fight tournament he plucked the furthest star, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which is one of the biggest titles. Surprisingly he also won two consecutive National trick biking championships in a very short span of time apart from his UFC title.
John started his career at a very tender age of nineteen and is still aiming higher. He got his first opportunity in 1998 against Mike Headley, which he did not deny. His decision to fight was backed by his confidence as he could have turned this opportunity down but he wilfully accepted the proposal. He had fought with few of the experts of his field like Pat Miletich, against whom he fought wonderfully but ended up by submitting late in the second round.
Although there is still a long way to go for this wonderful fighter and that he has come long way till now by having a game with almost all the national champions and world famous fighters. Doerksen, Jhun, Sanchez, Black and Brennan are few of the sportsmen, which are included in the list of popular welterweights.
Recently John Alessio “The Natural” has accepted a fight with Marcelo Brito, a Brazillian fighter, who is known for his dangerous submissions in the game. John Alessio has now become an experienced player of his field and he has plenty of fights planned for the future.
