In the meantime, we would like to extend a hearty fuck you to Smoky Mountain Active Club lead and professional MMA fighter Thomas Grady III of Etowah TN.

Consider this another one for your loss column. We'll be praying for you, bub. 🪤

As bad as Thomas Grady's opsec is, his 0-6-0 record as a professional MMA fighter isn't much better. In one of his losses, he squared off against a fighter from Shelbyville BJJ Academy which, as we previously pointed out, has their own ties to Tennessee Active Club.

Members of TAC who were present included Kauffmann and William Allen Migala. Migala is a former member of the now-defunct NatSoc Florida and current lead of the Northwest Tennessee Active Club. Migala was hilariously dunked on by "Sarah McLachlan" after he was doxxed and fired from his job in 2023.
