WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — In Jay Glazer’s Sunset Boulevard Gym, the one tucked above the Pink Taco restaurant and framed by multi-million-dollar homes that litter the hills above, there are three flat-screen televisions displaying recorded Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts at all times. On a Thursday morning in July, 19 NFL players who pay a sizable monthly fee to train at Unbreakable gather around gym co-owners Rashad Evans, the former light heavyweight champ, and Glazer as he works both a remote and his mending sandpaper voice. It has been five days since Robbie Lawler successfully defended his welterweight title against Rory MacDonald in one of the best and bloodiest fights in UFC history.
