TOM Breese has moved his life to Montreal to give himself the best possible chance of success in the UFC.
And the Brummie says he’s progressing nicely as he gets ready for his fourth fight in the Octagon.
Breese chatted to SunSport at the UFC 199 media day and explained how his passion for each of the various fighting arts is helping him to progress as he looks to climb the ranks of the UFC’s welterweight division.
“There’s times when I wish I would have been a boxer,” he admitted.
“There’s times I wish I would have been a jiu jitsu guy. There’s times I wish I was a wrestler, because I competed in all aspects.
“I’m a mixed martial artist. I love every aspect and that’s why I do this - to be well-rounded and have a passion for everything.”
