Search for Rodney “Sho Nuff the Master” Wallace on the internet and you won’t find much in the way of photos.

The most prominent one tells the story. There’s Wallace, shirt off, exposing a tatooed chest and a ripped torsoe. That’s 205-pounds of muscle packed on to a 5-9 frame.

Explosive.

Wallace is the walking, talking, definition of the word. Of course, people in his hometown, Bamberg, don’t need anyone to tell them that. As a Bamberg-Ehrhardt Red Raider, Wallace was a football star, a three-time state wrestling champion and a two-time state freestyle wrestling champion.

Fans of the Catawba Indians football team don’t need to be told about Wallace either. After leaving Bamberg-Ehrhardt, Wallace accepted a scholarship to the school and is still the Indians’ career rushing leader with 3,769 yards, and touchdowns with 42.

Saturday night, Wallace (9-0) hopes to fill casual mixed martial arts fans in on his explosiveness when he steps into the octagon for his UFC debut against Brian Stann (7-2) at The Palms Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on the undercard of “The Ultimate Fighter 10” Finale scheduled to air at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV.
