Blaine Stepanek (step-on-neck)

Blaine "Suave" Stepanek is a well-rounded mixed martial artist fighting out of Harddrive Performance Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A former college football safety at Upper Iowa University, he's been training since childhood and carries a family legacy as a second-generation fighter from his city. He fights for his family and his community — and welcomes the nerves that come with it: "If you're not nervous, you don't really love it."
