Eleven days after earning his UFC contract, Anthony Wint choked out Terrance Chatman in his Octagon debut. In a revealing conversation with Ariel Helwani, the undefeated heavyweight explained why the hardest opponent of his life was never standing across from him inside a cage.
Anthony Wint spent years trying to prove he belonged in professional football, and then he spent years trying to prove he could survive without it. Now, after one of the fastest arrivals into the UFC in recent memory, the undefeated heavyweight believes both journeys were preparing him for something larger. Wint entered August as an unbeaten prospect still trying to earn a UFC contract. He left the month with a Contender Series victory, an official place on the roster, a successful UFC debut, and the kind of momentum that can transform an unknown heavyweight into one of the division’s most intriguing new personalities almost overnight.
