Following a 10 year layoff from MMA, middleweight Fran Collins returned to the sport in 2022 and continued right where he had left off a decade earlier. Having one his first two pro bouts, Collins continued his undefeated ways in 2022 by picking up back-to-back victories for the CES promotion. “2022 was a great year for me to get my feet wet again,” Collins told MMAWeekly.com. “Obviously getting back after a long layoff there were questions in my mind if I could still could perform and compete how I wanted to, so I took it slowly and did it the right way.” A big part of Collins’ return was the fact that he’d made changes in his personal life which allowed him to re-enter MMA with a fresh slate and with the support he needed to succeed. “I rebuilt my mind after becoming sober,” said Collins.
