Promising Bantamweight Talks Childhood Ambitions Ahead Of UFC Debut On Saturday
Cody Haddon has wanted to be a UFC fighter since he was six years old.
As a 13-year-old schoolboy boxing champion, he told his local paper about his ambitions, and he was so committed to his dream that he cried in the car with his grandmother on his 18th birthday because he was disappointed that he hadn’t already made it to the biggest promotion in the sport.
Of course, reaching the UFC at that point would have been extremely difficult, as Haddon was still a couple years away from making his amateur debut.
