Mark Weir is not far off 60, but you’d never guess it! A UFC pioneer and Gloucestershire legend , 'The Wizard' recorded a 10-second KO win in the inaugural UFC in London in 2002 - he still trains, eats and sleeps like a Champion and is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm.
In this conversation we discuss a coming-of-age year for his charge Christian Leroy Duncan who recorded three victories in the UFC to move to a 13-2 record and showed potential to be a championship contender.
Mark reflects on the incredible growth of the UFC and the money and prestige that’s now up for grabs for fighters like Christian.
We also talk about his continued work training aspiring pros and everyday people at Range Martial Arts Academy in Gloucester. https://www.facebook.com/RangeMartialArtsAcademy/?locale=en_GB
Mark tells me why MMA is the sport to choose for self-defence.
We also discuss Mark’s secrets to longevity and health - the importance of movement and his adherence to a daily fast.
