Indio Dojo's roots run deep.
And that's largely due to the experience, influence, and knowledge of owner/professor Danillo Villefort.
On the latest 247 Combat Sports Podcast, Villefort joins the show alongside pupil Clayton 'Hoot' Lee.
The timing couldn't be better, as "Hoot" fights "Cowboy Eddy" Edgar Parrilla II Saturday, Feb. 24, for the 247 Fighting Championships amateur lightweight title at Brawl in the Burgh 20 in Murrysville, PA.

Despite showing up late (*cough*) Hoot brought the heat to the podcast.
Beyond that, though, viewers and listeners got a full dose of Villefort. From Brazil to Florida to Pittsburgh, Villefort's seen and done it all like few others.
And he has some incredible stories to tell. Dig in and enjoy.
