LAS VEGAS – John Castaneda feels he’s started a new chapter in his fighting career.
Having made some big changes in his life, the UFC bantamweight is confident a new and improved version is here to stay in the promotion. Castaneda (20-6 MMA, 3-2 UFC) was training and managing his career as a fighter while he had a full-time, regular job – which wasn’t working out for him.
“Up and til the Daniel Santos fight, I was working full time, 40 to 45 hours a week, training 30-35 hours a week, getting very little sleep,” Castañeda said at the UFC on ESPN 45 post-fight press conference. “I was always sick, always getting injured and walking really, really chubby just because my metabolism was super slow from everything going on in my life.”
