“The sun never sets on a bada**.”

That’s what Austen Lane told his son as they sat down for Lane’s fight week interview with UFC.com. During his last fight in October, Lane brought his son, Ronin, with him for the first time during a fight week. Then, Lane went on to pick up a big win over Cuba’s Robelis Despaigne.

“It's funny how there was so much pressure on me in that fight, but I was probably the calmest I've ever been and a lot of had to do with my son being there for the first time, watching me do my thing,” Lane said.
