Sean “The Destroyer” Loeffler has three motivations for fighting: His daughter who he has not seen in four years, beating the shit out of people (always a good one in my opinion) and last but not least, to be known as a great fighter and a top coach. His motivations so far have landed him a 24-4 record and a position rarely held in MMA: in control.
At five years old, Sean began training martial arts and like many people saw the first UFC in his teenage years. It inspired him to start training BJJ at the local Gracie academy. He then started training for MMA soon after and for the past three years has been training in Hermosa Beach and at the Compound in Oceanside, CA. After winning three fights in a row in local promotions, “The Destroyer” is weighing his options. When I asked him why he just does not jump into Strikeforce and UFC (especially with the recent rash of injuries) a confident Loeffler said, "I'm intelligent. I know what is and is not good for me. I am always in good shape. I do not want to go into the UFC and lose two fights because I know I will be done. I want to be relevant. I know the hard work I put in will pay off. I'm trying to be smart." Since his debut in 2000, he has grown from being a person with a lot of power and KO wins, into someone who submitting people left and right. “I feel like I am now a more well-rounded fighter. I’m good in all aspects.”
He is a currently getting UFC vet Krystof "The Polish Experiment" Sosynski ready for his war against Stephan Bonnar at UFC 110. He also worked on an independent film called "War Von Haust" about the life of a fighter. It is now in the hands of a major production company to develop into a full-length feature. "It was a fun experience and has given me some more exposure which is nice," says the independent film star. He also teaches classes at his local gym. "I would love to pass on technique to the up and comers. I get a lot of gratification out of teaching classes. I feel like I can live vicariously through them long after my career is done."
Sean would like to thank his sponsors Wicked Kingdom Fight Gear who is making affordable MMA clothing for the masses this year at a great price, ShipShape.net Apparel, and Nutrition Zone.
