Johnny Ablin, the Bellator middleweight champion, spoke about how MMA training helped him change his life.
“I was lost. I was not focused on the right things and was looking for immediate gratification. It was a bad time in my life. Everything could go wrong. Perhaps I would already be dead or in prison. I'm glad I met Steve Mocha and I'm glad he brought me to the gym. I am grateful to life that I met Mike Brown, that I met Mohammed Lawal. “I met a lot of good people and it really changed me for the better and helped me become the person I am today,” the fighter said.
