Jake Hager spent his coronavirus summer in a way few others did: Competing in one sport and preparing for another, all while working out with a movie star.
The Tampa resident is a regular in All Elite Wrestling, which has maintained weekly shows in Jacksonville throughout the spring and summer. But he has also been training for mixed martial arts, staying in fighting shape and waiting for his next bout in Bellator MMA.
“For myself, I get to be a two-sport athlete, live out a dream, and take advantage of this small window to maximize the potential of both (sports),” Hager said.
