Randy Patino is more well-practiced in many of the martial arts than you might expect of a 2-0 professional fighter.
The Michigan welterweight has a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu base, won a Golden Gloves state championship in boxing and grew up doing Taekwondo. He recently added Muay Thai to his repertoire after a three-month stint of training in Thailand. Patino said he wanted to get a different look at kicking, checking kicks and most importantly, clinch work. In addition to learning Muay Thai techniques, Patino also got to sharpen his Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling while overseas.
“[Thailand] is a mecca for fighting,” he told MMASucka.
