For the first time ever, VALOR will feature VALOR Young Guns meaning that not only will it feature the best kickboxing in the region, but also a nice group of young mixed martial artist getting their shot to fight on the big show. One of those talented up and comers is Caleb Cupp, who will be headlining VALOR 10 on November 1st in Pigeon Forge. We talked to Cupp about his upcoming main event fight.
Caleb Cupp trains out of D-Evil MMA in Johnson City alongside Dustin Walden, Dustin Long, and Adam Townsend. Cupp said about his training, "A normal week of training is six days a week with one day of rest. Plus, strength and conditioning three days a week with road work four days a week. Round that out with three to three and a half hours of MMA training nightly. Training has been going as planned with no injuries." If you've ever wanted to fight, right there is what it takes.
