Interview with Shoaib Yousaf above – Check it out

Shoaib Yousaf (7-2) discusses his featherweight fight against Steven Goncalves (6-2) at Brave CF 50 on Apr. 1. Shoaib also talks about how he got into MMA, his training camp, and future goals in the sport. Shoaib also talked about the impact of training with UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy in his camp.

“Yeah it’s awesome because he’s also a featherweight so I learned a lot from him. Everyone in the gym is very good. We don’t have any easy days in there. Lerone will probably get a Top 15 opponent (next) and he’ll really shine.”
