UFC matchmaker Mick Maynard gave a rare insight into the process of scouting talent for the promotion.
Maynard, who started as an MMA promoter in 2006, has been around the fight game for quite some time, with a unique eye for talent. After running Legacy Fighting Championship as owner and president, he was hired by the UFC as the vice president of talent relations in 2016 alongside senior vice president of talent relations Sean Shelby. The pair make up the UFC’s matchmaking team, creating fights that occur week in and week out.
