Paul Kelly teams up with MMA strength and conditioning trainer Kevin Kearns
by Natalia Baage on January 29, 2010

U.K. fighter Paul Kelly is changing up his camp. He will now be working with strength and conditioning trainer Kevin Kearns.

Word of the new team came from Kearns via e-mail two days ago. He later confirmed via Twitter.

Kelly, 9-2 MMA, has fought five times in the Octagon - thrice at welterweight and twice at lightweight. He has one loss in each weight division. In the process, he has defeated Paul Taylor, Troy Mandaloniz, Rolando Delgado. His two UFC losses have come at the hands of Marcus Davis and Dennis Siver.

"Tellys" does not currently have an upcoming fight scheduled.

According to Kearns, the referral of Kelly came via Fighter's Only, where Kearns serves as the website's strength and conditioning consultant. Kearns has also worked with Kenny Florian, Marcus Davis, Stephan Bonnar and Jorge Gurgel.
