Alan Belcher has always taken challenges head on. The same attitude that he brought to his 26-fight MMA career is now serving him well in his current competitive venture, the field of business consultation.
Dubbed “The Talent” during his days in the cage, Belcher made a name for himself in the UFC with his versatility, combining strong Muay Thai skills with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt under Helio “Soneca” Moreira. What really made him stand out is how he used these skills to match opponents strength for strength, as opposed to exploiting their weaknesses.
Against Muay Thai practitioner Jorge Santiago, Belcher chose to stand and chop away at his foe with leg kicks before drilling him with a shin to the chin in the third round.
