Once homeless, Ian Butler wants to make a name for himself at GLORY 30

Ian Butler discusses transitioning from MMA to kickboxing, making his kickboxing debut at GLORY 30 this weekend, where he wants to compete in the future and growing up homeless in California.

Despite only having five professional mixed martial arts bouts, Ian Butler is used to the spotlight. After his pro debut in 2014, he was signed to Bellator MMA but lost his first two bouts in the organization, which resulted in a release. Butler recently got back into the win column, but has since decided to transition over to kickboxing and will make his kickboxing debut at GLORY 30 this weekend.
