Every fighter chases something. When it comes to the 34-year-old version of Zak Cummings, he’s chasing something he always has – the thrill of competition.

“Back in the day, multiple years ago, I didn’t even know how to get to the UFC,” said Cummings, who faces Trevin Giles this Saturday in Rochester.
