[quote=Anonymous]"Abdulazeez had several friends at the gym, [b]but one in particular, a former Chattanooga police officer, would constantly exhort militant Islamic views and threatened anyone who bad-mouthed the faith, Schrader said. The man was the one who introduced Abdulazeez to the Fight Factory and became the young fighter's closest mentor[/b], he said.

In 2010, Schrader drove Abdulazeez more than 100 miles south to compete in the North American Grappling Championships in Atlanta. Grappling is a wrestling-like form of martial arts that doesn't allow striking an opponent. Abdulazeez won a silver medal in his division at the tournament.

"He was a good grappler, a good wrestler," Schrader said. "He was a good, respectful kid. I never had a problem out of him."

[b]A few months after the tournament, Abdulazeez competed in a mixed martial arts fight. After the fight, his father, who was waiting for him outside the ring, berated him loudly for taking part in the sport, Schrader said. "He was really furious," he said.

Abdulazeez worked out at the gym a few more times after the incident, but showed up less and less and finally stopped coming altogether. A 2009 caged-in fight between him and fighter Timmy Hall posted on YouTube shows Abdulazeez taking down his opponent and landing several blows, before the two-minute video ends."

On the one hand it sounds like sport was bad for him; on the other hand good. I'd like all of this dug into.
