Ethan Pauley humble despite headlining status at CFFC 158: 'I'm just a guy'

What kind of natural athletic gifts does it take to succeed in MMA? Or is it more important to simply start the journey as early as possible, using one's youth to rack up as much experience as possible across a variety of martial arts, combining them all in the professional ranks? CFFC 158 headliner Ethan Pauley is living proof there's another way to go about it. The Michigan native hadn't even watched an MMA fight before 2013, and his introduction to the sport was Anderson Silva violently breaking his leg in his rematch with Chris Weidman. Somehow, Pauley used that odd beginning to launch his journey into MMA, and he's now headlining Friday's CFFC 158. Ahead of that matchup, Pauley spoke to Jake Noecker. #CFFC158 #LiamHammill #EthanPauley
