Gabriel Varga has held Kickboxing world titles at featherweight in Bellator and Glory. Varga is exploring free agency and covered several subjects with me such as:

-getting back into the gym for the first time sparring in 8 months and feeling the soreness from it
-recuperation techniques for when he's feeling sore but also enjoying aspects of the soreness
-the status of where Varga is at in his processes exploring free agency so far
-pandemic hurdles with figuring out his next fight and whether it will be kickboxing or MMA
-viewing MMA as something to keep him busy between kickboxing bouts and being able to meaningfully retain jiu-jitsu knowledge throughout the pandemic with focused grappling training
-what he learned from his first MMA loss to TeeJay Britton last time out with Bellator MMA
-his family-centric training history in Victoria, BC and fighters scouring the globe for the ultimate camp
-the nuanced technique breakdowns on his Youtube channel and the benefits of teaching for refined expression of your physical tools
-dynamics of weight cut difficulties existing with the UFC's approach versus ONE Championship's approach with the hydration testing
-there being Glory and K-1 possibilities being on the radar to an extent as well for Varga
-piano playing efforts and the appreciation he has for playing music
