Egan Inoue, a well-known mixed martial arts fight- er, was recognized for his achievement in another arena — racquetball. He is a world champion in the sport. In fact, he made his name in racquet- ball before becoming the first non-Brazilian to win a Brazil- ian jiu-jitsu world title. While many may be familiar with his Bootcamp gyms, he also started his own racket compa- ny, E-force, in 1990.
