Marcus Kowal will step into a cage for the final time as a fighter Saturday night.
It’s not that the former Strikeforce athlete has lost the love for fighting. Hardly. He’s just too busy right now — trying to change the world.
In 2016, Kowal’s 15-month-old son Liam was tragically killed, struck in his stroller by a drunk driver in Los Angeles. Ever since then, Kowal has dedicated just about every waking moment to making Liam’s life — and his own — count for something greater.
“In my case, I can’t go back in time,” Kowal told MMA Fighting.
