 Photo submitted by Mike Phillips Victorville's Tyson Johnson,
a former mixed martial arts fighter, now keeps busy as a ring announcer, trainer and writer. Local
man is well known in the MMA world August 14, 2007 7:00 PM Many mixed martial arts fans are familiar with his distinctively deep-voiced call: “Arrrrre Youuuu Readdddddy?” Victorville’s Tyson Johnson is one of the most recognized ring announcers in the business. He currently works around 30 to 50 shows a year, and the requests keep pouring in. He announces all the King of the Cage and Gladiator Challenge events and also has announced for Desert Extreme, Cage Combat, Warriors Cup, Palace Fighting Championship and more. The demands of the job keep him busy most weekends and have him traveling all around the United States and to various other parts of the world. Nowadays Johnson steps in the cage sporting a tuxedo, but before that he was an MMA fighter himself. He started competing at a young age, winning many community boxing championships and wrestling tournaments. His involvement in MMA started 15 years ago when he decided to make some positive changes in his life, and that’s when he first met Gladiator Challenge promoter Tedd Williams of Apple Valley. Williams showed him a more professional, organized way of training and competing. Johnson has seen a lot of changes since the days when he fought. “I can remember fighting when it was called No Holds Barred (NHB),” Johnson said. “There were no weight classes and I would fight guys 150 pounds heavier than me.” Johnson ended his MMA career with a 10-2-1 record. Johnson’s first ring announcing job was nine years ago when Williams and King of the Cage promoter Terry Trebilcock gave him the opportunity. “My first show was interesting, but I was a natural,” Johnson said. “From there my abilities have grown.” He’s lived in the High Desert for 10 years and has played a big part in the success of mixed martial arts in the area. He is the owner of Universal Grappling Academy, where he currently trains 15 mixed martial arts fighters. He is also helping to build the future of High Desert fighters with 32 children starting as young as 4 years old. They compete in wrestling and grappling tournaments and have won multiple titles in various divisions. Many of these kids have been getting national attention from television programs and sponsors. Johnson is currently working on three mixed martial arts reality TV shows, which are scheduled to come out sometime in 2008. He’s written a book on mixed martial arts training, nutrition, and motivation, and he’s expecting his second book to be in stores later this year. Johnson also writes about fighting, fitness, and nutrition ideas for the bi-monthly Gladiator Magazine.

to action with Gladiator Challenge. Expected to take on GC heavyweight Chris Wood, last-minute changes, as they so often happen
in the fight game, and Steven Eakin stepped in to battle "The Beast." Elko, Nevada was the location, and fight fans
were excited to see some local favorites as well as Severn going at it in the cage.
