Eric Fehr on MMA

Capitals Star Eric Fehr Loves MMA, But He’s Not Ready To Drop The Gloves For Good

CD: You play a real physical sport too, what similarities between hockey and MMA?

EF: It’s definitely, they’re both pretty rough sports. I think, the hockey fights are obviously more comparable to the fight in the MMA ring but, it’s a lot different when you’re in the octagon I can only imagine.

CD: If MMA was as popular as it is now, back when you started playing hockey, do you think you might have given that sport a shot?

EF: Uh, I kind of don’t, just because I’m not really a fighter on the ice to begin with, but you never know, I think it’s really interesting how, how many different sports are kind of combined to become a good UFC Fighter.
