Last week, the UFC announced it plans to return to St. Louis for a show on May 11. Garrett Armfield, who grew up in St. Louis, wants to get on the show.
Armfield lived in St. Louis until he was 18. He moved to Springfield, Missouri, for a couple of years before leaving for Florida for four years. Now he’s back in Kansas City as of 10 months ago, training at Marathon MMA. He still calls St. Louis home, though.
Armfield, who came up in Shamrock FC, a St. Louis-based regional show, said competing in the UFC in his old hometown would be a “full circle moment.
