Fight Path: After rocky childhood, Jonathan Brookins found unlikely inspiration in Krazy Horse

Almost from the moment he moved to Ocala, Fla. – after a trouble-driven
separation from the Lindenwood University wrestling program and a drive
to join his family on their chosen displacement from Oregon following a
death in the family – Jonathan Brookins started hearing about “Krazy
Horse.”

“I thought he would be some Indian guy,” Brookins told MMAjunkie.com.

So the former state champion wrestler who had a growing interest in
mixed-martial-arts started his search. He went around town asking where
he could find MMA-related events and training, and the same name kept
coming up. “Krazy Horse.”
