Mark Striegl tests skills with Chas Skelly at UFC Fight Night: Walker vs Hill. This goes down on February 19th and emanates from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I spoke with Striegl prior to this prizefight and we touched on several subjects such as: -His present training camp location
-The primary reasons for Mark Striegl wanting to train over at The MMA Lab
-Getting in past work in Baguio City where Manny Pacquiao used to train
-Meeting Manny Pacquiao at one point and giving him signed ONE Championship gloves
-Thoughts on fighting Chas Kelly and the dynamic with this being Skelly's retirement fight
-Rehabilitation techniques following strenuous training sessions
-Staying steadily ready with the martial arts as a lifestyle ethos
-Still wanting a Sambo Gold Medal while concurrently competing in the UFC
-If Striegl has spoken with certain people in the UFC about those Sambo endeavors
-If Sambo is the most multifaceted base discipline for MMA and if Striegl agrees with that characterization
-If the beard of Mark Striegel will come back for this next one
