OKTAGON MMA's Tom Crosby discovered MMA after watching The Ultimate Fighter.
OKTAGON MMA star Tom Crosby is eyeing a return to action in June, having lost his promotional debut in his last outing.
Crosby was an aspiring rugby league star before watching TUF videos. Looking for extra ways to stay fit turned out to be a career change after becoming invested in the UFC reality television series. "From there, I found a gym near me called Caged Steel and I did a bit of training on and off, without ever really fully committing. I went off to Australia for a year to play rugby and didn’t really do much MMA when I was out there, and then when I came back in 2012, I just fully focused on MMA.
"In surgery, they said I wouldn’t be able to punch at all for 12 weeks, but I am guessing that is the worst case scenario and I am hoping it will be much sooner than that," he added.
