Bellator 221: Tywan Claxton says coding knowledge makes him one of the smartest fighters in MMA

Tywan Claxton is already on his way to being successful in a completely different field than mixed martial arts.

Claxton, a top Bellator featherweight prospect, is also a coder; he makes web apps. He said ahead of his Bellator 221 fight against James Bennett he recently partnered with the company GoMeta and its web app development platform, Koji.

According to VentureBeat.com, developers can build and deploy web apps faster and easier with Koji. The platform also allows more people to build apps.

Claxton said one of his roles is to build templates that other people can use to build their own apps.
