Erik Koch




TRAINING: Same as usual – I am a workhorse. Ask anyone that knows me, my entire life revolves around training.

When and why did you start training for fighting? Started as a little kid. I did Tae Kwon Do at the age of four and did that till I was ten. Then I picked up MMA from my brother and have been training ever since.

What ranks and titles have you held? I have held Mainstream MMA’s title

Do you have any heroes?
My brother and father – two hardworking men; I don’t know how they do it.

What is your favorite technique? Have too many to name.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It means everything to me! I have wanted to be here for years! I’m very excited to be fighting under the UFC name.

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? No

What was your job before you started fighting? It has always been fighting.
