Low-paying jobs, tazer-gun attacks and MMA bans haven’t stopped Claude Patrick

Things have never been easy for Claude Patrick.
 
Despite an 11-1 record with 9 first-round stoppages, the former IFL
welterweight has battled tooth and nail to keep a career in mixed
martial arts going in a Canadian province where mixed martial arts is
not yet legal.
 
He’s battled injuries, bad jobs, bad luck, and a bevy of wannabe
“pitfighters” while building his name in Toronto. But somehow, he’s
managed to make it all work.
