We talk with Vince ‘The Anamoly’ Cachero, the current 135 lb Champion of U of MMA, and learn how he prepares for his fights from diet all the way to the moments before he steps into the cage.
On top of being a fighter, Vince Cachero is an artist and entrepreneur working on his business Mana Sports Co and serving his community with Mana Kids Foundation.
We dive into the mindset of a champion and how he approaches not only fighting but life itself. We hope all the best for Vince as a young uprising star in MMA who embodies the Kū lifestyle.
