Marvin “The Beastman” Eastman
Standing up or on the ground Marvin “The Beastman” Eastman is ready to Beat Down

Marvin Eastman is not only prepared for his K-1 “Battle At the Bellagio III” bout he is ready to “beat the shit out of his opponent.” The reigning “King of the Cage” Light heavyweight champion says he is 100% ready both mentally and physically to step into the ring with anybody who challenges him.

Marvin is no stranger to success in and out of the ring. At an early age, Marvin began wrestling with his older brother’s junior varsity wrestling team. The constant challenges pushed Marvin’s strengths and encouraged him to develop skills needed to face opposition with superior dominance. During his senior year of high school Marvin’s experience and talent finally provided him with an undefeated record (42-0) and California State Wrestling Championship at the 191 pound weight class.

Marvin’s athletic abilities are limitless. After returning home from Garden City Junior College in Kansas, Marvin decided to turn his focus to football. Marvin is just as accomplished on the football field as he is on the wrestling mat. After two All-American years at Merced College in California, Marvin was offered a full ride scholarship to the University of Washington Huskies. Marvin however found himself in the bright lights of Las Vegas and decided to sign on with UNLV instead.

Marvin played two successful seasons as a tailback and a full back with the Running Rebels, and later joined the Canadian Football league (CFL) for a short time. In 1996 Marvin decided to focus his talents and skills in a new and more challenging area. Marvin turned to Muay Thai style fighting to challenge himself. Marvin quickly remembered his wrestling roots and loved the feeling immediately of utilizing knees and elbows in combat. Marvin once again found himself ready to compete with others and with himself.

With Marvin’s superior strength, quickness, experience, and newly found Muay Thai skills, he decided that he could be more than just a force in the sport; he could dominate.

Marvin has set his heart toward a WFA’s Light heavyweight Championship in November. There is no doubt that “The Beastman” will be considered as one of names on the cards for a championship match. Marvin stays focused for each fight keeping in mind his goal. He goes in one fight at a time ready to stand up toe to toe, or grapple to the ground.

Marvin’s fights against Jeff “Duke” Roufus, Tom Sauer, Alex Stiebling, and Vernon White have proven to be successful bouts. Marvin was supposed to lose to the four time Muay Thai champion, but instead issued Roufus with a vicious jumping knee to his ribs sending him down for the count. That victory brought much confidence and respect for himself. Marvin has continued his success during the recent “King of the Cage” unanimous decision and vengeful rematch versus Vernon “Tiger” White earning him the Light Heavyweight championship. Marvin is no doubt excited about the opportunities in his future. It is rumored that Tito Ortiz may want to fight Marvin in the near future. Marvin stated that he “welcomes any fighter at this point” and added that he would be happy to face Tito and take him to the mat like many times before. The bottom line is Marvin is ready to face any opponent and do what he does best.
