Rick Glenn May Be Going To UFC But He’s Not Quitting His Day Job

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Rick Glenn (18-3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) revealed that while he’s finally making his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 94 this Saturday against Evan Dunham (17-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC), he’s not quitting his job at Costco yet. Here are highlights:

On the fight with Dunham: “I think it’s a great matchup. He’s a scrappy guy, I’m a scrappy guy. I’m winning this fight. I’ve been training for this for years. I need to win it – not for anyone else but myself.”

On not quitting his day job: “I’m not getting rid of that job; I really enjoy working with the crew I’m in. I’ve always worked at least part-time and full-time jobs here and there. When I was the most injured was when I was training a handful of times a day, three-plus times. I think twice a day – I think quality over quantity – is the key. As I get older, I need to get more quality sessions, not just bang it out, bruised up, all the time. I’ve had a lot of injuries. Even though I’m young, I’ve dealt with a lot of stuff.”

On losing supporters over the years: “I’ve always fought to be successful in hopes to make enough money to help my family out when needed and provide for myself. I lost a lot of close family over the past couple of years. I’m fighting for them because they’ve always been supportive of me but they’re gone. So now I’m going to fight in their honor.”
