Growing up, trouble literally surrounded UFC welterweight Curtis Millender . A student at Arroyo Valley High School in San Bernardino, Calif., Millender said rival gangs encircled the school and recruited from its population. Football season was the only break in hostilities. “We had probably three or four people get shot and killed that went to school with us from my freshman year to senior year,” he told MMAjunkie Radio. Millender (17-3 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who recently outpointed Siyar Bahadurzada (24-7-1 MMA, 4-3 UFC) for his third straight octagon win , centered himself with wrestling and managed to stay out of the fray.
