Most fighters competing over the holiday season complain about missing Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s. UFC lightweight Quinn Mulhern is quite the opposite. Mulhern (18-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC), who meets Katsunori Kikuno (21-5-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 34 this Saturday in Singapore, actually was relieved to not deal with the expectations and pressures that come to the surface this time of year. He was just happy to focus 100 percent on his preparation. “The holidays kind of bum me out a bit, but this one I got to just be super focused,” Mulhern told MMAjunkie Radio. “I got to diet, focus, and it felt good to be in that zone in this time of year when you’re usually not.” The 29-year-old is hardly a Grinch-like figure when it comes to the holidays.
