Justin "The Executioner" Levens grew up fast in the streets of Philadelphia, before eventually moving across the country for a chance at a better life. He found that life in Newport Beach, California, where he learned to channel his aggressive energy into a more productive form. He began training at Marco Ruas' Vale Tudo academy in Orange County, and the hard-hitting light heavyweight discovered a penchant for explosive action.
Levens and his wife were found shot to death in their home in Laguna Niguel, California. The police are investigating the deaths as a possible murder/suicide.
