Kicking off this UFC Shanghai edition of TTP is our interview with UFC lightweight, Gauge Young. Young talks about the awkward circumstances around his UFC debut. From fighting on short notice, to fighting a friend - he runs down the whole situation for us. Now with a full training camp, he's ready to show the UFC what he's really made of. He'll head to Shanghai for a date with Maheshate and he gives us a breakdown of that fight.
