New
Era Fighting signs
ex-Porn star Aaron
Brink
SANTA ANA, California
(January 18, 2007) – Ex-porn star Aaron
Brink has signed a promotional contract to
fight for New Era Fighting (NEF), the emerging mix
martial arts organization featuring combat fighting
legend Kimo Leopoldo,
NEF president Ron Kort announced
today.
Brink is NEF’s first signed
fighter since Kimo but, as Kort noted, numerous signings
will be announced in the coming weeks as NEF prepares
for its inaugural show, tentatively scheduled for May 11
in southern California.
“We’re excited to sign Aaron
Brink,” Kort said. “He’s had opportunities in this
industry but he wanted to comeback and show the MMA
world what kind of fighter he is at 100-percent. Aaron
has the driving desire to be an awesome fighter. He has
a jaw, fist and body of steel. Now he’s ready to rock
and roll. Brink is rock solid with a well-muscled body
and only 3-percent body fat. He believes in using his
iron fist, not submission moves, to put on a show. He
uses his internal rage and violence – fists, elbows,
knees, whatever.
“We want fighters in the NEF
with character, like Aaron, who come into the ring
displaying their fighting ability, not worrying about
losing their job if they lose a fight. Fighters are
accepting the opportunity NEF is offering them and we
will be signing a lot of hot, new talent this month. We
will have fighters using their instincts and character.
Aaron Brink believes he’s the ‘World’s Toughest Man’ and
New Era Fighting is going to be the stage for him to
prove it.”
Brink,
32, lives and trains in Huntington Beach, California. He started
fighting in 1997 but left for San
Fernando Valley in 2002 to pursue a career
in porno movies. “I had an up-and-down MMA career and
left for San Pornando
Valley to become a porn star,” he explained. “I acquired
vices attributed to the porn lifestyle. I tried to do
both (MMA and porn) but I didn’t train seriously. I
showed up for some fights with porn producers working my
corner.”
Former MMA fighter John “The
Machine” Lober, Brink’s manager, contacted Aaron about
returning fulltime to the ring, and he gave up his porn
career and started his MMA comeback.
“I started with John Lober
and he’s managing my career again,” Aaron remarked. “At
32, I decided to comeback and had practice fights with
some other MMA fighters at my level. I went to the (NEF)
tryouts to announce that I’m back. I signed with NEF and
I’m getting better each day. I’m down to 3-percent body
fat, ride 50 miles a day on my back, run and do
pull-ups. I
never bothered training like this before. I was always a
world-class puncher but everybody in MMA knew that and
knew all they had to do was weather the story and not
let me hit them in the face. Now, I’m also doing
extensive groundwork, so I’m boxing and
grappling.”
The 6-3, 227 pound Brink has
a boxing and kickboxing background, taught in the
pre-porn days by well- known boxing trainer Jessie Reid
and today, coached by Reid protégé Jason Parillo. Aaron
plans on proving he’s the most feared puncher in MMA
since Tank Abbott.
Brink
is a good friend of Kimo, arguably the baddest
street
fighter of all-time, who fought the best in the UFC,
PRIDE, Rumble on the Rock, K-1, Cage Rage and Extreme
Wars. “We’re real good friends,” Aaron added. “I love
and respect that guy.
“Doing porn and MMA is
impossible. I’m done with porn. Nobody will stop me now.
I’m real happy to be back, fighting for New Era
Fighting. I will go through anybody they put me in with,
like a knife through
butter.”
Fists of iron, abs of steel;
Aaron Brink has gone from MMA to porn and back. Now it’s
his turn to punch his way to
glory.
