SYDNEY – It’s been a minute since Shane Young has had his hand raised – four and a half years, actually. So maybe more than a “minute.”
Young (13-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC), from nearby New Zealand, takes on Gabriel Miranda (16-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) on Saturday in Australia. He’ll be trying to snap a three-fight skid for his first victory since February 2009. But that’s not the only thing on his mind. He’s also thinking about a documentary featuring his teammate, middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, and the film’s potential impact on men struggling with mental health.
