Looking to Prevail
Clovis, California -- Jason “The Livewire” Von Flue, a UFC &
Strikeforce veteran, is on the hunt for victory after losing his
last four fights. On August 15, He will be taking on Bryson
Kamaka (Pictures) at PureCombat: Hardcore.
“He’s better than what he is” said Von Flue, referring to Kamaka’s fight record of 5-11. “He’s a legitimate threat and he’s a game opponent,” most of Kamaka’s wins have come by way of knockout.
While 10 of Von Flue’s 12 wins have come by way of submission, he is always willing to stand-up and strike with his opponent. “I’ll throw some punches at the guy and test him out,” said Von Flue. “I’ve never seen this kid fight before, gonna get out there work some strikes and work the takedowns try and mix it up.”
Von Flue is coming back from a 60 day medical suspension from a fight he had with Pete Spratt (Pictures), Spratt landed an uppercut knocking out Von Flue. He was suppose to fight Dustin Arden in June but was unable to fight because of the suspension. Now he’s at 100% and ready to return to the cage, “It's been a bumpy year, I'm over it, ready to turn it around with a win.”
The Livewire has also done all of his training in the valley instead of at The Pit in San Luis Obispo; which is famous for training Chuck Liddell (Pictures) and PureCombat fighter, Scott Lighty (Pictures). “I’m trying to refine myself and re-develop my skills here in the Central Valley pull away from the total striking aspect get back to the Jiu-jits game.” Von Flue said. “Working towards getting back to where I’m most dominate at.”
Even with the change in training Von Flue is looking forward to getting a victory this August. “I would like to put that all together and show the Central Valley, what I have learned and what I have fine tuned while being here in the Fresno area at the two gyms I’ve been training at.”
For Jason, fighting isn’t his only job he is also an instructor at Royce Gracie (Pictures) Jiu-Jitsu of Fresno and part-time bartender at a local bar. He spends a majority of time training, “I spar four days a week, grapple four days a week,” says Von Flue. “I try to hone those skills as best as I possibly can.”
An interesting fact is that Jason plays the video game “World of Warcraft” in his spare time. “It’s a cheap efficient way of keeping me busy, where I’m not gambling and drinking. Getting myself into who knows what trouble.”
