LOS ANGELES – Curtis Millender is choosing to focus on the positives of the UFC 232 event relocation. Plans for friends and family members were derailed for several members of Saturday’s card due to the last-minute change of location from Nevada for California. For the Anaheim-born Millender (16-3 MMA, 2-0 UFC), though, it kind of worked out for the best. “Initially, I was just super pumped because now my sons can come,” Millender told reporters, including MMAjunkie, at today’s UFC 232 media day. “You don’t have to get on the plane; it’s perfect.” Millender, who meets Siyar Bahadurzada (24-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in a welterweight bout at UFC 232, which takes place at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and streams on UFC Fight Pass prior to televised prelims on FS1 and the pay-per-view main card, admits it “sucks losing more money” going from the no-tax Nevada to the high-tax California, but he’s taking it in stride. At this point, Millender is just focusing on the fight with Bahadurzada, who is a hard-hitting striker with plenty of knockouts on his record
