The leading cutman in combat sports
There is a guy who gets as much air time during the UFC’s pay per view events as Dana White. You have no doubt seen him countless times, his face is very recognizable – right down to the trademark Tom Selleck mustache.
His name is Jacob Duran, though most fight fans know him simply as “Stitch”, for he is the pre-eminent cutman in mma. He also works with heavyweight boxing champions Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, among others. Stitch is recognized as the best, most popular cutman in the business. You can see him before the fight starts, preparing a fighter, or in between rounds working on the injuries of the fighter who needs the most attention, and after the fight, cleaning up a fighter’s face and halting any blood flow long enough for the fighter to get the proper medical attention.
In the video interview below (courtesy of MMA: 30), Duran talks about his journey in life and how he got to where he is today.
