For Evan Cutts , martial arts hasn’t ever really been about fame and glory. Instead, it’s been more of a path of pure competition and a journey of self-betterment. “It makes me a better person,” Cutts said of his fighting career. “I say that chuckling, but I do really believe that there is a warrior spirit inside some people, and if it’s not exercised in the proper way, it’s going to manifest in unhealthy ways, and whether that’s an external unhealthy way where you’re getting pissed off and doing something you regret, or it’s an internal thing and you’re suffering from depression, I think some people have to address that warrior spirit, and that’s something that’s just inside me as a person.” Cutts , who also serves as an owner and operator of Fitness Fight Factory in Texas, hasn’t been able to address that warrior spirit quite as much as he’d like over the past year. The COVID-19 pandemic forced him to spend extra time focused on his business, and fight bookings were few and far between on the regional stage, leaving him inactive since December 2019. But things are looking up in 2021, with Cutts (11-4) set to headline Thursday’s CFFC 94 event, which streams live on UFC Fight Pass from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
