I was backstage one night at a recent UFC event, and all of my guys had already fought, so I was watching the rest of the fights from the locker room. At one point, my good friend Jacob “Stich” Duran sat down with me to watch a little of the action, as well, and we started discussing the fight that was happening. After a little bit of this, “Stitch,” who has to be one of the absolute nicest guys you will ever meet, turned around to me and said, “You see Alex, I don’t see fights like you. I see the cuts. As I watch the fight, I see where a fighter might get cut. After being a part of so many fight, I know how and where a lot of them do get cut. I see a fight from a whole different perspective. I see the whole thing from the standpoint of cuts!” Hearing “Stitch” really got me thinking on how little I actually knew about the subject
