, at a handful of dispensaries in the metro area to strong reviews. As his October 15 fight against Drew Johnson at Stampede in Aurora approaches, Egozi won't be taking breaks in the lab.Martial arts help Egozi stay balanced. And just like the rosin he presses, the welterweight says he thrives under pressure.

I went to the gym almost every day for about three years and kept thinking about competing. We held some in-house kickboxing fights against teammates, and I did really well. I liked it a lot, and thought it was worth going forward.I'm fighting a dude who's fought two of my last three opponents, which is interesting. He's an active guy on the amateur MMA circuit.
