As it sits right now Hands Up Fighter has put new design production into effect as they begin hashing out the what's what of new gear and accessories. Expected release date of new designs for fight shorts, hoodys, shirts and all other things Hands Up Fighter expected to be released by mid/late august. Now for what you really want to know, "what's up with the Hands Up Fighters?". "Kaotic" John Ashworth - Still in the process of rehabilitation after a knee surgery that has kept him out of the cage in recent months. For now though he's still full time coaching jiu jitsu out at Xtreme Couture and planning on entering the northwest grappling competitions. As far seeing "Kaotic" back in the cage? He has stated that once his knee is back to 100 percent health you may see him back in the cage. But as an amateur? Maybe not.... "Teddy Bear" Tyler Baley - After a vicious slam from dennis parks during an arm bar attempt which broke Tylers clavical bone and put him in surgery, hes back! But not in the cage. Currently Tyler is back on the matts during his 6 month healing process helping coach out at Xtreme Couture with Jiu Jitsu classes. Tyler has a lot of work ahead of him to get his injury healed and rehabed but he promises to come back an even tougher fighter from this injury. He has said odds are you will see him entering NW grappling tournaments before stepping back into the cage again. "Filthy" Shane Wooldridge - The 5-0 animal is back it. Lately he's been working he's ass off 60 hours a week. However... he just dropped one of his two jobs to make time for training again. His new focus is on the NW grappling scene in hopes of mopping up some competition in the heavy weight division. As far as cage, Filthy said, "you might see me sometime in winter of 08 inside the cage". "Bad News" Lance Bo - Has decided to take some time away from training fo his debut fight to focus on work and a foundation to build on for his return to the sport. Lance's hope is to return to training full time in the next 5-6 months, sorry fight fans maybe in the near future.
