WASHINGTON, D.C. — UFC featherweight contender Steve Garcia joins MMA Fighting’s José Youngs to discuss coaching kid’s T-Ball, favorite sporting memories, his love of the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys, and more.
Garcia (19-5) is one of the hottest fighters in the featherweight division. “Mean Machine” has won seven straight fights and looks to make it eight when he takes on two-time title challenger Diego Lopes in the main card opener of UFC White House this Sunday. His win streak started with a first-round knockout of Chase Hooper, and his current run includes notable wins over Melquizael Costa, Calvin Kattar, and David Onama.
His latest win over Onama occurred at a UFC Vegas 110 this past November. Garcia scored another quick finish to move one step closer to a title shot, and a win over Lopes would cement the often overlooked Garcia as a dark horse in the deep 145-pound division.
