For UFC and Strikeforce veteran Bristol Marunde , getting things back on track after two straight losses came down to not changing what he was doing, but more so remembering who he was as a fighter and getting back to what he did best. In getting a win over Ian Williams in April at Combat Games MMA, Marunde returned to the form that saw him win 10 of 12 fights prior to joining the UFC. “This fight (against Williams) was a little different for me because I had started working with (former Team Quest head trainer) Robert Follis,” said Marunde. “He sat me down for lunch (prior to the fight) and was going over my game plan and pretty much told me that I have to get back to what I’m good at. “(Follis) told me the path to getting back to being a winning fighter is knowing who you are. I need to get inside, fight inside, grind guys, and be an in-your-face type of fighter.” Having both built their careers in the Northwest, Marunde and Follis were able to reconnect after relocating to Las Vegas
