Jorge Garcia’s Journey to His First Major Title Fight

“It surprised me, only because they offered me a fight with Xander Zayas in the past, well before the title,” Garcia recalled. “I think they were looking for opponents on the way to the title a couple of years ago. My team asked me and I said, ‘Yes, of course.’ We told them we were interested but never got the call. I don’t think it was because they were scared or anything.
