Tyler received his Bachelors Degree in Education at Oklahoma State and was a 2 year starter for the Cowboys as a freshmen and sophomore. He spent most of his junior and senior seasons out with injuries. He watched his last two years of wrestling pass right in front of him and it left him with an empty feeling that burns every day. Tyler set out to be an NCAA champion and that did not happen. Failing to achieve his goal taught him a lot and has left him completely hungry and driven to correct what hindered his past and also to set long term goals to be a world champion in MMA and in Jiu Jitsu. He also plans to coach and pass his knowledge and experience to younger wrestlers and grapplers along his journey. A quote that drives him is from his OSU wrestling coach John Smith: "Win or Lose you will never regret working hard, making sacrifices, being disciplined, or focusing to much. Success is measured by what we have done to prepare for competition." BRYAN "THE LION" MCVEA

He now enjoys success competing in regional amateur fights such as San Shou, Kick Boxing, and MMA. Brandon has also had fun competing in local Judo and BJJ competitions.
