Rebellion MMA Radio: Rick Hawn, Dhiego Lima, and Adam Lynn

Rebellion MMA Radio returns this Sunday with another great line up of guests joining hosts Bryan Levick and Mitch Ciccarelli. Joining the show this Sunday will be Bellator’s Rick Hawn, along with the MFC’s Dhiego Lima and Adam Lynn.

Rick Hawn was a member of the 2004 US Olympic Judo team and is currently the number one contender in Bellator’s lightweight division. Hawn is 14-1 in his career with the lone loss coming to Jay Hieron at welterweight. Hawn will challenge for the lightweight title later this year when he faces champion Michael Chandler.

Dhiego Lima is an exciting prospect out of ATT Atlanta. The brother of Bellator’s Douglas Lima, the 22-year old currently fights for the MFC and has amassed a 6-2 record.

Rounding out the group is fellow MFC fighter Adam Lynn. The former Marine is 17-9 in his MMA career and has fought for Strikeforce and the WEC as well.

Be sure to tune in this Sunday at 6:30 for what should be a great show. Click here for a link to the show.
