It took Callan Potter nine years and 25 fights to make it onto MMA’s biggest stage, but “The Rockstar” -- who was given just two weeks’ notice to fight at UFC 234 opposite Jalin Turner -- lasted just 53 seconds in his Octagon debut.
Potter, a cult favourite on Australia’s regional MMA scene, caught up with Sherdog.com to talk about his shaky start at UFC 234, his journey from liquor store manager and part-time rock star to full-time fighter, moving back up to 170 pounds and what he hopes to achieve in his time left in the sport.
