There was a time when Jason McLean’s father had his doubts about mixed martial arts.
Mr. McLean was a supportive dad, and as his athletic son says, the old man would be there to support any competitive endeavor, even if it were Tiddlywinks.
But McLean, who fights in a featured preliminary-card bout at tonight’s “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva” event, recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio, his dad’s blessing opened the door for what would become a life’s passion and the opportunity of a lifetime.
