Steve Garcia, Austen Lane, and UFC Nashville

Steve Garcia Interview (1:48)

Kicking off this UFC Nashville edition of TTP is our interview with UFC featherweight, Steve Garcia. Garcia discusses the five-fight win streak that has brought him to this point. That run didn’t come without issues as he had canceled fights, and a plenty long layoff. However, he’s now looking to put another knockout in the ledger to climb up the record books. We also chat about what the records ultimately mean for him in the grand scheme of things. Finally, we dig into his fight with Calvin Kattar. We discuss what the step up in competition could do for him as well as his prediction for the fight.
