Adam Fugitt Interview (31:07)

Closing out this edition of TTP is our interview with UFC welterweight, Adam Fugitt. Fugitt discusses seemingly becoming the guy that the UFC throws to their highly touted prospects. Last time out, he played spoiler against Yusaku Kinoshita and he looks forward to doing it again at UFC 289. This Saturday, he’ll face off with Mike Mallott, who has gained quite the fan fare in Canada since graduating from the Contender Series. Fugitt not only discusses that fight, but also shares his aspiration to shed the title of ‘the prospect tester’ and instead be a test for everyone in the welterweight division.
