Phil Ryan Cardella (born July 9, 1976) is an American mixed martial arts fighter. He currently fights as a lightweight in the World Extreme Cagefighting organization. All but one of Cardella’s triumphs have come by first-round submission. He is a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Relson Gracie, as well as a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Hapkido [1]. He served in the United States Marine Corps, and continues to work with various branches of the U.S. Military to train them in jiu-jitsu [1][2]. Phil was the first American fighter to represent the Relson Gracie Team in MMA competition [2]. Relson Gracie has been in Phil's corner during many of his MMA matches [2]. Phil is the head instructor of Relson Gracie Austin, a martial arts school specializing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu [3].
WEC career
While his record for the WEC reads 0-2, Cardella was a winner in the minds of several fans and critics after his fight against Danny Castillo ended a split decision.[4][5] He made his WEC return at WEC 42 on August 9, 2009, losing to Ed Ratcliff by unanimous decision.
