Andre Soukhamthath’s win at UFC Fresno inspired by memory of son
Andre Soukhamthath bounced from coast-to-coast ahead of the biggest win of his fighting career, which is perfectly in line with the rest of his unlikely journey to the Octagon.
Sporting an 0-2 record in the UFC and with no guarantee that he’d get a third shot in the promotion, Soukhamthath took it upon himself to reach out to the matchmakers in the hopes that he could step in for an injured Bryan Caraway, who was scheduled to fight Luke Sanders at UFC Fresno on Dec. 9.
Fortunately for Soukhamthath, he received a swift and positive response.
Unfortunately for Soukhamthath, he was already on a plane that was taking him 1,400 miles away from his usual stomping grounds in South Florida.
