Phil Dunlap is a 54 year old athlete about to turn 55 on 2/11/18. Phil competes in professional grappling and high level brazilian jiu jitsu events. Over the last year he has competed in some of the biggest events in professional grappling such as the Submission Underground, Fight to Win Pro, Mat Kings Pro and Mat to Win Pro. Most of his matches are against competitors hald his age. Phil is currently preparing for Chael Sonnons Submission Underground 6 on 12/3 and the IBBJF No Gi World Championships on 12/16 & 12/17. Both events are carried live to a large base of grappling fans on Flograppling.com available on both Roku and Internet broadcast. Phil competes at both 205 lbs and Heavyweight and is a fan favorite due to his willingness to grapple anyone and take no prisoners style. Grappling fans love to see an older grappler submitting younger opponents. Phil is looking for sponsors that have a product he can believe in and wish to work with an older athlete as a spokesperson and understands that this is about return on investment both through creating brand awareness and sales. A Bio on Phil Dunlap Phil grew up in the martial arts and was a very active professional fighter between the ages of 16 and almost 26 fighting constantly in Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Japan until breaking his neck in a terrible car accident just before his 26th birthday. After being told he would never do anything physical again he rehabbed his body and started Advanced Fighting Systems Team Asylum to pass on what he had learned. While training others to fight he decided to prove the doctors wrong and fight again. In 1998 at the age of 36 he fought MMA again at GSO 3 in a Main Event Super Fight against Pride 2 Veteran Juan Mott a year later he did a Super Fight Grappling Match against Robert Ferguson at the WSW championships before deciding to retire and focus on training others. At 48 after some very serious health issues forced him to close his school back in NY and NJ (doctors had told him he had 6 months to live) he had basically come out to Vegas to spend his last days somewhere warm and was lucky enough to find a doctor with a radical treatment get his health back and as a result started training, teaching and competing again. At 52 he started actively competing in high level grappling tournaments and plans on competing until they have to drag him off the mats. As of today between Burmese Boxing, Thai Boxing and MMA Phil has 119 Professional fights and well over a thousand submission grappling and Bjj matches. At 54 he competes for Professional Grappling shows that broadcast to a live audience on flograppling.com and sold out venues such as Fight To Win Pro , Chael Sonnens Submission Underground and Mat Kings Pro.. When he is not competing himself he runs the Asylum Fight Team Vegas, a free fight gym training others in both Combat Sports and Self Defense as he believes combat sports have given him the ability to overcome many obstacles and he wishes to help others while doing what he loves. Phil believes participating in the combat sports help give you a fabric to live your life by. Phil also owns a business that finances government contracts and consults with government contractors. Phil has been featured in Black belt magazine on several occasions, Japanese MMA magazine Gong Kakutogi, a feature in Burma’s largest sports publication last month February 2017 along with various local and regional publications and a number of television programs such as Inside Martial Arts and Insec TV in the NY metro area..

Genisys Credit Union, headquartered in Auburn Hills, Michigan, has done something most brands never do with athlete sponsorship: it kept renewing. What started as a single partnership with Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has become a multi-year, two-athlete program that Genisys has renewed and expanded every season since 2024, adding Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa in 2025 and renewing him again in 2026.
