Pat "Pinoy Powerhouse" Runez,
Most of my MMA experience started in my 14 years of experience in folk style Wrestling. Collegiate level Competition proved to myself that I can compete in top level competition!

After my college wrestling career...

During the last 5 years I have been training at AZ combat sports in the arts of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) under coach Gustavo Dantas and Kick boxing/MMA Coached under the Lally Brothers. I have competed in over 20 submission grappling tournaments in the last 5 years and won the majority of them.  All of the submissions grappling tournaments I have entered have been at my natural weight of 140lbs.  My peak performance weight is at the 125lb weight class. I feel my experience in grappling has provided me with the opportunity to advance my amateur MMA Career.  I have successfully entered into the professional ranks of MMA attaining a belt with Palace Fighting Championships.

My goals over the years include winning gold at the World Championships in BJJ at the Brown belt level and BJJ.  As I have achieved my goal of obtaining a belt with the Palace Fighting Organization. Over the next year my goals are to enter with a organization that has national television exposure and continue to compete against top level athletes in my division.  My goals include defending the belt at Palace, obtaining a Gold Medal at the World Championships of BJJ.
