Soriano: It was ‘weird’ training with ex-foe Skelly at first, but now we ‘laugh about it’

Sean Soriano and Chas Skelly were foes three years ago. Now they train together.

The two featherweights were prepared to punch, kick, and choke — and everything else you can do in mixed martial arts — each other with intentions of finishing the other man at UFC Fight Night 50 in September 2014. Skelly, who stepped up on very short notice after fighting two weeks prior, handed Soriano his second UFC loss by decision.

Now, in 2017, the former opponents are training together at Combat Club in Florida. Soriano, who’s no longer a UFC fighter, is fighting Jacob Bohn at CES MMA 44 on May 12.
