Edgar Chairez: From Tepito To The Octagon
Edgar Chairez is ready to return to action against CJ Vergara in Mexico City on March 29. In order to enter the Octagon at his best, “Puro Chicali”decided to hone his fists at Arnol's Gym in the dangerous neighborhood of Tepito.
Tepito's toughness didn't discourage Chairez, but highly motivated him. Edgar felt a strong connection with the humble attitude and daily struggles of his neighbors. He took Tepito's culture like his own while he worked his striking, foot placement and head movement at Arnol's Gym.
