Since joining the UFC in 2016, Andrew Sanchez has constantly been working to add new skills to his toolbox. He’s focused his attention on refining his wrestling, becoming a more natural striker and utilizing the power in his hands.

And regardless of how his UFC 257 bout with Makhmud Muradov goes down, the 33-year-old Illinois native plans to hire a coach and master another useful skill – knitting.

“It’s really hard to find good information on knitting,” Sanchez told UFC.com. “It’s not f******* easy to do. I’ll sit there and listen to my AM radio and try to knit sweaters and s*** for my friends.”

Sanchez points out that knitting takes plenty of patience and that it’s in his nature to obsess over something until he’s good at it.
