On today's Current Sports with Al Martin Segment of the Day we pay tribute to one of our most memorable guests; amputee MMA fighter Ronald Mann. Mann was a former United States Army emergency room medic who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident during time off duty. Mann captured the Korea-wide Army Tae Kwon Do championship for his division, using martial arts as his release and main purpose in life.

Mann sadly passed away this past weekend, victim of a car accident.
