Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight champ Stipe Miocic is famous for competing as a mixed martial artist while working full-time as a firefighter. Of course, he was not the first; years before Miocic was even fighting professionally, there was Chris Lytle. “The whole time I was in the UFC competing I was a full-time firefighter,” Lytle told Sherdog.com. Now, the man who is entering his seventeenth year serving his community as an active firefighter looks to blaze a new path in combat sports as a bare-knuckle fighting competitor. With one fight already under his belt, Lytle will make his stateside debut at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship’s Aug.
