Canadian 125lb Prospect Tony Laramie training with Manel Kape ahead of LFA debut Friday

Interview with Tony Laramie above

Tony Laramie (5-2) discusses his flyweight fight against Tyus White (4-0) at LFA 120 this Friday. Tony also spoke about how this opportunity with LFA came together, why the UFC didn’t want him on Contender Series, and training in Las Vegas ahead of this matchup.

“I’ve been training at Xtreme Couture and 10th Planet mostly. I live with Cody Stamann, so that’s who I’ve been staying with. So I’ve been training with him a lot. Another one of my training partners that just fought this weekend is Manel Kape. We’ve trained together a lot this camp, he’s just a good technical partner. He’s pushed me really well, he’s a good training partner. I’ve been here like 7-8 weeks now.”
