With the UFC potentially stepping away from the men’s flyweight division, many organizations invested in the weight class. Last year the Brave Combat Federation attempted to crown a flyweight king but were ultimately unsuccessful when eventual winner Velimurad Alkhasov missed his mark on the scale. Brave CF has continued to sign quality talent to the category. One of these acquisitions was long time CFFC champion Sean “Shorty Rock” Santella. He spoke with MMASucka recently about his career, the market for flyweights and more.
