https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/...y-past/Cws0yeeFBwQsDaMl6PE02I/story.html John Gotti III is not one to pull punches. The No. 1-ranked mixed martial arts welterweight in New York doesn’t look forward to the questions about his famous name, but he won’t duck them either.
“My name is my name and I embrace it,†he says.
Gotti, 27, whose first four pro fights have ended in either a first-round KO or a TKO, says he’s proud to be a Gotti.
“I have the same name as my grandfather and my father, but I’m doing my own thing,†he says. “I’m going down a different path than that other stuff.â€
The “other stuff†that he’s referring to is the gangster life led by his flamboyant and feared grandfather, John J. Gotti, who led the notorious Gambino New York crime family, and his father, John Angelo Gotti (a.k.a. Junior Gotti), who embraced and then renounced it. [ quote]Above his right glove is a quote from his grandfather, the infamous Dapper Don: “When I go to war with my enemies, I raise a black flag. I asked for no quarter, I give no quarter. You kill me, or I kill you.â€[/quote]
