Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Jason David Frank To Appear

Mixed Martial Arts fans might be surprised to learn the founder of the “Jesus Didn’t Tap” clothing line is “Tommy” from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. General Martial Arts fans might be surpised to learn “Tommy” is Jason David Frank, founder of Toso Kune Do Karate, member of the World Karate Union Hall of Fame, and owner of the Rising Sun Karate Academies.

Fact is, this guy has accomplished more than everyone who lives on your block combined and will kick your ass while he does it again. Thankfully for us, he’ll graciously smile, sign his autograph, take a picture with you, and probably choose to not kick your ass when you come to The Texas Testosterone Festival to meet him.

Jason David Frank will be at the exhibit space for The Houston Sports Gallery, along with the UFC’s Melvin Guillard, at times TBA on Saturday August 15. On Sunday August 16 both Jason and Melvin will spend their time checking out The Relson Gracie Texas Jiu Jitsu Tournament at The Texas Testosterone Festival.

Advance tickets are STILL only $6 and available for purchase online, click here. Man, if The Texas Testosterone Festival gets any cooler we may just have to raise our prices. Buy your ticket now before we convince ourselves to bump it up to the $9 day-of price.

And So Is UFC’s Melvin Guillard!

Houston Sports Gallery Presents UFC Lightweight Contender Melvin Guillard at The Texas Testosterone Festival.

Melvin made his debut on the National MMA scene during The Ultimate Fighter Season 2 on Spike TV. He competed at welterweight, including a TKO of Marcus Davis in the season finale. After moving to the reinstated Lightweight division, Melvin has been 4-2 with TKOs over Gabe Ruediger and Dennis Siver and losses only to fellow top contenders Joe Stevenson and Rich Clementi. Melvin is next scheduled to compete in UFC Fight Night 19 against Nate Diaz in the headlining bout for the September 16 free-on-tv show.

Fellow Testosterone Festival attendee Ricco Rodriguez awarded Melvin his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt recently, all part of his quest for the top of the UFC’s Lightweight division. Melvin will be available for autographs in Houston Sports Gallery’s exhibit space from 1 PM to 3 PM on Saturday, August 15 and 1 PM to 2 PM on Sunday, August 16.

Houston Sports Gallery is the first of it kind in sports memorabilia, specializing in only MMA autographs with the largest selection in the usa. HSG has a wide variety of MMA autographs including: pictures, gloves, trunks and many framed items. Stop by their exhibit space and have a look for yourself.
