Jeff Monson, MMA fighter, anarchist and IWW member, is fighting this weekend Saturday November 18th for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.
Monson is a world renowned submission wrestler and an ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championship champion. He is also a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter and has a record of 22-5-0 and is on a 16 fight win streak.
Monson also is known for his leftist political views and affiliations. In an interview, he explained, "I am an anarchist, someone who would like to do away with all class hierarchy in society and the institutions that promote this inequality". He correspondingly receives sponsorship from AK Press and has several anarchist symbols tattooed on his body. In solidarity, Monson is a member of the Industrial Workers of the World (Wobblies).
Monson has a Bachelor's degree and a Master's Degree in psychology. For a few years he worked as a mental health professional, both in a crisis evaluation role as well as a child/family counselor. After initial success in Abu Dhabi and other MMA arenas, he left the professional world of psychology to devote himself full time to his MMA endeavors.
He is nicknamed "The Snowman", "The Anarchist", and "Naked Monson" (from an incident at Abu Dhabi). His recent wins in the UFC have gained him status as the #1 contender for Tim Sylvia's UFC Heavyweight Title, in a match to take place at the UFC's November 18th pay-per-view.
