Factory X Muay Thai owner and head coach Marc Montoya joined John Morgan to discuss the recent success of his Colorado-based gym, results earned after 25 years in the sport.
Montoya recaps UFC Fight Night 230 wins from Jonathan Martinez and Chris Gutierrez, as well as a contract-winning performance from MarQuel Medros on the final episode of the most recent season of Dana White’s Contender Series – two events that took place in a four-day span in Las Vegas.
Additionally, he looks forward to Brandon Royval’s upcoming flyweight title shot at UFC 296, and outlines a number of prospects the team has on the cusp of success at the highest level.
