Mike McAloon tests skills with Jonathan Broad at BFL 71 on February 17th. This lightweight clash transpires in Vancouver, BC, and broadcasts on UFC Fight Pass.

I spoke with McAloon ahead of this one and we covered several subjects such as: -Going from featherweight to lightweight for this one and going forward in general

-Allocating more physical and mental energy towards training with this move to a higher weight division

-The benefits of being a co-main event on a UFC Fight Pass broadcasted card even amid a loss

-The start and stop dynamics with fans being in attendance for live MMA cards in Canada

-The great work had at the legendary Canadian mixed martial arts gym, Toshido MMA

-Working with someone like Toshido MMA coach David Lea who is a legend in the Canadian fight scene
