Stephen Dana

Stephen Dana, purple belt, 10th Planet Atlanta. Dana was the runner up in the first Decatur qualifier. He had a great showing at the Austin qualifier in season 3. I’ve said it before, Sean Applegate at 10th Planet Atlanta just puts out killers. Dana actually had an at large bid invitation from the Commissioner after his showing at the Atlanta Qualifier. Dana eschewed the invite, choosing to enter the Asheville Qualifier and win his way into the PGF. Dana’s actions spoke louder than words in the Asheville Qualifier. Other than going 2-1 against the runner-up, Dana submitted everyone. It should be interesting to see where Dana shakes out in this season. He has some great wins, but also has losses to Billy Baxter and Dane Leak. Like Noah Randolph above, it will depend on which Stephen Dana shows up.
