Every time Chance Rencountre makes the walk to the Octagon, he does so with the flag of the Osage Nation draped over his shoulders, and it will be there again this weekend as the 32-year-old looks to extend his winning streak to three when he takes on Lyman Good on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
But as he prepares to make his fourth trip into the Octagon, the 32-year-old is finally ready to open up about frustrations he carries with him every time he makes that walk as well.
“What really matters to me the most are the people that reach out and respond to me,” began Rencountre, who hails from Pawhuska, Oklahoma and is the first member of the Osage tribe and one of few Native American athletes to compete in the UFC.
