When Nik Lentz decided to make an investment, he looked no further than the man in the mirror.
After winning $65,000 as a “Fight of the Night” bonus in a loss to Evan Dunham in January, the Minnesota-based Lentz took the money, disassembled his training camp, and started afresh at American Top Team in Florida.
It led the 28-year-old former NCAA Division I wrestler to what was arguably his most impressive big-show win to date, which came at this past weekend’s UFC 150 event.
