Biography
Jeffrey Monson is an American and Russian athlete, mixed martial arts fighter. He is a two-time world champion in wrestling and the world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
In 2018, the athlete received Russian citizenship and the post of deputy of the Krasnogorsk city council.
fact
Childhood and youth
Geoffrey was born and spent most of his childhood in the town of St. Paul, located in Minnesota. At the age of 11, the boy became interested in classical wrestling, performed at regional competitions.
Later he switched to other types of martial arts. He was mainly engaged in grappling, which aroused his interest in that it is a dynamic type of wrestling, where athletes strive to quickly apply painful or suffocating techniques. He also devoted time to the Brazilian variety of Jiu-Jitsu, but in grappling, Jeffrey Monson achieved outstanding results.
After school, the young man enters the University of Illinois, where he earns a bachelor's degree in psychology, and then graduates from the University of Minnesota Duluth and becomes a certified child psychologist. In this specialty, the athlete worked for several years as a child and family psychologist in Lewis County.
In parallel with his work for the mental health of the country, Monson continued to act as a fighter, combining the two professions for a long time. But in his youth, Jeff's career in the ring did not go well. A significant victory took place in 1999 at the World Championship. After that, the fighter decides to leave psychology and focus on a sports career.
fact
Sport
Jeff Monson made his debut in mixed martial arts at the age of 26. After he managed to win the World Grappling Championship, he signed a contract with one of the best world associations of the UFC. The debut there turned out to be "savory": Jeff lost in two fights out of three and was sent to less prestigious tournaments.
At the beginning of the 21st century, an athlete hones his striking technique, which was his weak link, and, having won 13 fights in a row, wins one tournament after another. With a height of 175 cm, his weight reaches 108 kg, so the fighter often performs in the 99+ kg category. At the same time, he gets the nickname Snowman, apparently due to the fact that he was one of the few white fighters among black athletes. The successes achieved in 2006 allowed Jeff Monson to return to the UFC.
In this most prestigious tournament by the standards of mixed martial arts, the athlete began with a bright victory over the rising star Marsyu Cruz, who had previously managed to defeat the reigning champion. After a series of great fights, Jeff still lost the final fight to Tim Sylvia.
This upset the wrestler so much that he again went to less serious leagues, where at one time he achieved success in fights with middle-level fighters or famous veterans who lost their former form.
To date, Jeff Monson has fought over 80 fights in the professional ring, in which he won 58 times. The most striking were his confrontations against the Russian athletes Alexander Emelianenko and Fedor Emelianenko, as well as against the Ukrainian fighter Alexei Oleinik.
Sports fans note the high level of both rivals in an exhibition fight according to the rules of sports sambo, where Jeff was opposed by Russian Denis Komkin. The fight against the Olympic judo champion from Japan Satoshi Ishii was no less exciting. For the sake of such uncompromising confrontations, viewers come to watch "fights without rules", as it is not quite right people call mixed martial arts.
Jeff Monson considers himself an anarchist and advocates the complete eradication of the class hierarchy in modern society. His body, judging by the photo, is painted with a huge number of anarchist tattoos, including the symbols of anarcho-communism. Also on his body there are inscriptions in various languages, including English, Russian and Japanese. Some of them are humorous, while others carry deep philosophical overtones.
On the basis of his convictions, the athlete vandalized in 2009, painting symbols of anarchy and peace on the columns of the Washington Capitol, as well as painting the words "No poverty" and "No war". During the trial, Monson pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in prison with forced labor, and also received a fine of more than $ 20,000, which, however, never paid.
In 2013, Jeffrey first mentioned that he would like to change citizenship and obtain a Russian passport. He stated that he felt Russian in spirit and would like to receive a legal basis for this feeling. In December 2015, Monson obtained permission to obtain Russian citizenship, however, it is not known for certain whether he renounced a US passport. A year later, the American athlete received an LPR passport, as well as the title of an honorary citizen of Abkhazia.
Due to numerous injuries, Jeff Monson lost his license in the United States with which he could enter the ring. On the territory of Russia, there are no such restrictions for MMA fighters, so since 2015 Jeff has been participating in Russian tournaments. His rivals are Konstantin Skrelya, Nikolai Savilov, the battles with which end in victory for the American. In 2016, the athlete lost to Ivan Shtyrkov in Yekaterinburg, but managed to defeat the commentator and fighter Alex Cardo. Officially, Jeff Monson did not stop his sports biography, but since 2016 he rarely enters the ring.
fact
Personal life
Jeffrey Monson was officially married twice. The first time he went down the aisle when he was about 20 years old. From this relationship, he left a daughter, Mikaella, born in 1993, and a 3-year-old son, Joshua.
In April 2010, he married again the flight attendant Daniela Dagan, whom he met on the plane. Willow's daughter was born in the athlete's family in the same year, but the couple's relationship did not turn out to be too long. However, Jeff often sees his children, and even brought the youngest to Russia.
After a divorce from Daniela Monson, for some time he met with a Russian girl Alesya Kartseva, but the beauty never became the third wife of an MMA wrestler.
The athlete took part in the 10th anniversary season of the entertainment show "Dancing with the Stars", where he performed in tandem with a professional dancer Maria Smolnikova. Jeff underwent extensive training in Paso Doble, Viennese Waltz, Tango and other ballroom dances.
Now Jeff lives with his Russian bride in Krasnogorsk, where he opens a mixed martial arts school. The athlete hides the name of his future wife, but told reporters that the chosen one had recently given him a daughter. Jeff prefers to use Twitter and Facebook to communicate with fans and friends, while Instagram has bypassed his attention.
fact
Jeff Monson now
Jeff Monson works at the Zorkiy sports club and runs a joint business with entrepreneur Vladimir Kutiev. At the end of May 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree granting Russian citizenship to an American. The passport was presented to the fighter by the governor of the Moscow region, Andrei Vorobyov. At the ceremony, the athlete took the oath, which quickly went viral into quotes. For example, an American called the Russian Federation "Raska Federaski". After 3 days, Jeff became a guest of the Comedy Club entertainment show, where he talked with Garik Kharlamov and Pavel Volya.
A month later, the fighter began his career in politics. At one time, Jeff Monson was going to join the Communist Party, as he considers himself an adherent of the ideas of socialism, but decided to associate himself with the ruling party.
Monson received a positive response to the United Russia primaries and nominated a candidate for the post of deputy of the city council of the city of Krasnogorsk near Moscow. After the victory, the fighter talked to reporters. In an interview, he noted that he does not support the program of the government party, considers himself an independent deputy, and said about Putin that he has an "indecent" high salary. At the same time, Jeff positively assessed the foreign policy course of the Russian president.
In his new capacity, Monson had his first fight against Tim Sylvia, which he won this time. Despite the positive outcome of the fight, Jeff first spoke of ending his sports career, explaining his decision to health problems.
