[edit] Mixed Martial Arts
The "Mandingo" began wrestling at 14 and quickly found his niche, competing with the likes of Dan Henderson, Heath Sims and John Smith. It was 10 years later when he was asked to participate in his first MMA match, which resulted in a win over Shannon Ritch.
Antonio is also credited with having an elite MMA training center where MMA standout Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and the Tokyo Sabres team themselves can be found training on any given day.
He has since been released from contract with the IFL.
[edit] Charity
Antonio has spearheaded a non-profit organization known as "Fight for Kids" which is a program designed for underprivileged youth in effort to obtain training and funds in order to participate and compete in various athletic programs. He has a soft spot for kids and loves to give back to his community.

Antonio and his wife enjoy spending time with their 3 kids.[1]
