LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The confusion at the top of the UFC welterweight division just took another turn yesterday. The UFC just announced that longtime division champion Georges St-Pierre, who was forced out of his return to the Octagon 10 days before he was set to defend his title in October, will now be sidelined for the next 10 months as he rehabilitates a torn ACL in his knee.

A couple weeks ago I took the time to interview my training partner, Edwin Najmi, a blue belt active competitor who is beginning to sweep the scene.
Although he's younger than most seasoned competitors out there, he has proven his place in the bjj world and has a lot of potential. Often seen as Romulo Barral's mini-me or sometimes even relative, he has followed his professor's footsteps in more ways than one. Check out what this "Young Assassin" has to say regarding his training regiments, accomplishments and goals.
