Well, hopefully the comments will start rolling in.
I think they will….
Hey Guys,Great Thanks,..Do me a Favor send the Link of the Podcast to me Via Myspace if you could Please!
Thanks, ~LionHeart~
The only thing he can brag about is a no-contest. He taps before he even gets hit. What a disgrace to the sport.
After bubby gets done smashing him, I’m gonna piss on his face.
A blue belt? I’ve never seen you utilize guard before Scott.
A blue belt under who Scott? Who tied it around your waist? Show me a picture.
Stop trying to sound professional and respectful while you’re really just talking shit. You ask me to pose for pictures with you and then say you’d love to meet me at 140 (despite the fact I walk at like 185) and you’d tap me with a standing ankle lock.
Goddamn, you suck mother fucker. You sound like a moron who is trying to repeat what he’s heard smart people say.
just checked out some of his vids on youtube… Somebody grab this guy and talk some sense into him! It’s not safe for him to fight. Scott, seriously, train for a year and then give it another go….
Great interview guys. Thanks.
I think Scott would need a couple of warm up fights before he takes Kenny on.
OMG Scott Blevins get with the damn program you suck you fought ira mcdonald who weighed 118 and you weighed 142 and he whooped ur ass and you tapped from strikes so dnt ever talk about getting outsized and u retard kenny florian is a 155lber and you would never stand a chance with neither urijah faber or cub swanson and micah miller isnt that great and he would beat you cuz everyone would
and in my opinion noone who taps from strikes has any heart especially not someone who taps in every fight from strikes
telling from the comments, i have no choice but to listen to this now…TUF blake bowman and a gracie on here?
sweet. what did you do josh! haha
Romo Gracie…I’m sure he’s a black belt.
Haha or a confused Cowboy fan….
Dude, WTF is this guys malfunction? Seriously. I bet Christopher Reeve or Stephen Hawking could beat this momo.
Also, is the “R” in Romo Gracie pronounced as an “H”?
sounded like someone was eating a sucker the whole time…
but 0-13….jeeeezzz….
i have to say Blevins, is a saint, hes a great fighter, i commend any guy that does what he does for a living, is a gracious fighter to be,the fact blevins is a great man and bowmen, blevins may win that one,we saw how u buckled in on ufc,..so watch how u dog the lion,.blevins does in deed has a blue belt and that is great he does i think he needs to work on more ground and forget stand up,…and wrestling,..he may want to drop to 125lb class,but with kenny i think blevins has one great shot it and winning, kenny isnt all that in the ufc, let alone the under dog that couldnt cut it in the season mr.clownman bowmen, like bowmen who?im sure blevins is watching the site as to whats being said,ive talked to the dude and he knows his shit,.you may think hes not all that but the hes the man thats going to probly take over the mma world, hes rudy from indiana hes got dreams like all, hes a show stomper, more,..we want more interviews on this man,lots follow the guy hes what everyone wants to see suceed.
he’s 0-13. the future of mma hopefully can start winning fights. doesn’t mean he’s not a good person…fighting isn’t for everyone. you can still train. but to fight…probably not.
that man will never give up mma, im affraid, 0-13 is just a number,.
We like to hear more on Blevins sounds like a legacy streak
Good interview. You have to wonder how long he can keep this up. At some point, he’s going to be seriously injured. Someone needs to take him to a reputable gym and give him real training, if he’s insistent on fighting.
he wouldn’t even fight me i said something to the guy about hollywood,in the head instructor in cali,with the tenth planet bjj/eddie bravo and he wouldn’t do it,ive called him out to so its even there but like ive said in other mma discussion rooms hes the real deal rudy ruettiger that’s for sure but rudy did make it to notredame and won in the end one shot one chance is all the guy is going to need ive checked the stats on blevins for bjj its lagit hes a blue belt just to clear that up for all the viewers on mr.a.k.a rudy scott lionheart blevins great discusion room and a very hott topic i wish him well in the sport hands up chin down….rudy..rudy..rudy i take the guy on if hes game to come to hollywood.
Crooklyn looks like you need to get your hand on this guy and do a story on this guy
Anyone else think Epstein is probably scott blevins under a different name?
im thinkin toshiba AND epstein are both scott… this dude is a freaking moron
anyone else thing that rob is actually scott to throw us all off?
think.
I can almost guarantee that Scott is Toshiba. No one can replicate such bad grammar, spelling and punctuation. NO one.
Unless it’s Jeremy Ashley.
Blevins……Take all this with a grain of salt. I wish you the best if you pursue a career in mma. First of all, Scott, you need a manager or someone to represent you. IT sounds like the promoters call you when a fighter needs a win.
You need someone, like a manager to look out for YOUR best interests. You need for someone to book you against other fights with similar records. I am sure the W’s will start to roll in. You need to fight people of your caliber.
Good luck Scott. Just dont let people take advantage of you. And dont let the negative comments bother you. You got a new fan. Good luck on getting that first win!!!!!
i just know on one would pretend to be blake bowman.
i still don’t understand what just transpired.
This is disgusting, this clown is getting airtime while fighters who legitimately train and go into fights to actually FIGHT toil in anonymity?
He fought my guy Chico in his last fight, took 1 elbow and tapped, he should of just walked in the ring and bowed out. I find it irresponsible of the EFC promoter to keep bringing this guy back. 1. As a promoter he’s screwing the fans by allowing a guy who has not intention of fighting to come in and collect a paycheck. It might as well be a work, except the opposing fighter often has no idea who this clown is and expects that he’s going to fight an opponent that actually wants to fight.
All the “This is what I am meant to do” and “I love this sport” is bullshit. If you love the sport stop making a mockery of it and continuing to screw real fighters out of fights. Promoters stop being sleazy and letting this guy continue to game the system collecting paychecks to tap quick and spit in the face of fighters who train hard and lose.
Fuck him.
Wow, leave the guy alone i do doubt its blevins hes getting some wheres in his life,just cause you all isnt going any where’s in your career doesn’t give ya rights to dog a fighter and think you can get some where’s mocking the guy cause hes on a streak to success, a sensi wants did say,must plant the seed before to have growth and thats what this guy is doing i mean come on so hes had alot of losses but hes heart is like gold to the mma world and sport u can really see its not about money for him, its about climing his internal goals he holds,..what jackasses on here i support blevins
Go the distance lionheart.Go the Distance,Haters forget them just means your doing something right and there not,jealousy my man jealousy.Keep on Keeping on and do it the way that you are with Heart!
The more I think about it, the more I believe this guy is pulling some kind of Borat prank. I keep thinking this guy is just pranking us all. I seen the videos
it’s a sad prank.
Nothing tops the fight where an inexperienced, and much heavier, fighter tried to stand with Ben Rothwell and got HURT, bad. And I say that in a way that says ‘be ready for MMA’ because this sport isn’t easy.
Blevins, you need to spar harder so you’re ready for when the fight goes to the ground and you’re in a compromising position.
I can’t believe I missed so many comments, but I spent half of my day on planes yesterday after 0 sleep, haha.
Dam haters on the guy, for no reason living his dreams thats all the cats doing living his dream,much respect for blevins
Wonder whats next for blevins?
Guy i could get used to seeing on Tv,really.
Need more guys like him in my,all heart.A man who doesn’t let me drama get to him,that’s insanely perfection of a warrior in heart.
Not all fighters talk bad about fighters,let alone fans so Why blevins?
He’s obviously following his on dream and not living to the expectations of others hatred that’s for sure!
Wonder of this dude,reads this stuff on here?
Well guy should never give up a dream,happy for the cat that’s he’s living it up.
God love Forums!
MMA Fan,
We are currently working on some things for Blevins but we are waiting for him to return our emails. You aren’t the only one who wants to see more of him, trust me several do. Not all in a bad way either. There are some people that truly feel for him and want him to win. Again, just waiting on him…
I also notice you said forum…This isn’t a forum, it is much more. Join the site!
I be getting ahold of blevins by myspace i talk to the cat everyday, that guy i will say i truely like to hear more about he’s very inspiring as a guy.
Ive never met a guy like him and i will say he atleast answers his myspace page unlike some of them ufc and wec fighters.I can honestly say i have had the pleasure of meeting blevins and every word that comes out of his mouth is nothing but pride.
But then agin we have other stars in mma and there full of pride i guess there has to be ground point to a career in some guys lives.
Sorry misunderstood thought this was like a forum!
Like the site though,but even more the topic the story on this guy.
If i was in the same state as blevins I would be tryen to find the guy and see if he could guide me in the right direction in my life.
Great Site though.
Two thumbs up!
It is like a forum in the sense that you can provide your opinion…

My Insight and you guys forgot stuff like this.
Insight #1
Be the person you want to be. “Make the decision to take action and move closer to your Dream. Create daily success habits and surround yourself with information that will empower and inspire you.”
Insight #2
Use anger in a positive way to get results. “Anger is a normal reaction. It’s what you do with anger that makes a difference in your life … direct your anger towards a goal … use anger in a positive way to get results … from anger comes determination … comes triumph.”
Insight #3
It starts with a Dream. “Visualize your Dream and make a commitment. Having a Dream is what makes life exciting. Never underestimate the power of a Dream. It will change your life. A Dream gives you the ability to determine your future.”
Insight #4
Eliminate the confusion. “Find mentors who encourage you. The right information will eliminate confusion. Visualize exactly what you want to be … and focus on that … believe in yourself and don’t let anything stop you. Reinforce your Dream every day with positive information from tapes, books, and mentors. Each day you will get closer to your Dream. Eliminate the confusion and fears, and make it happen.”
Insight #5
The greater the struggle, the greater the victory. “Most people allow struggles and fear of failure to stop them. The key is to learn from your struggles and move on. Failures will make you stronger and give you the information you need to reach your Dream. Struggle will prepare you for success. Without struggle there is no success.”
Insight #6
Follow your passion instead of the dollar. “There’s nothing wrong with making money … but, it’s important to focus on your passion instead of the dollar. For me, decisions based on my passion brought me closer to my Dream, while decisions based only on money took me further away. If you focus on what really fulfills you, you will have success. The dollar alone does not bring happiness.”
Insight #7
Excuses will kill your Dream. “What we’re really talking about here is commitment. Until you make a commitment to your Dream, it’s not really a Dream … it’s just another fantasy full of excuses. Fantasies don’t come true because they’re not real, we’re not committed to them. When we make commitments, we eliminate excuses and they become Dreams … and Dreams are definitely real.”
Insight #8
Prepare for your Dream. “Preparation is what comes from struggle. Knowledge comes from preparation. These are the elements that pave the road to your Dream. If we do not prepare we will not succeed. Set your goals and pursue your Dreams with all your heart. If you miss a goal, don’t quit, reset it! You just need to learn more … step by step you will win!”
Insight #9
Focus on your Dream and Never Quit. It is always too soon to quit. If you quit, you can’t succeed. By achieving your Dream you will be an inspiration to others. You will set the example and make an enormous impact on the world. Make it happen!”
Insight #10
Always have a Dream. “Dreams give us energy to go to new levels. Dreams change lives … the power of life is in your Dreams!”
