      I’ve never had a chance to train at Tristar, but have seenthe place a few times when I covered media events for UFC. The place is well sized, and it’s preped through the roof for MMA. I believe it has two ring and one cage. It’s definitely an intimidating place, if you’re getting started or still amateur. As you know, the best in the world train at Tristar.
