Canadian welterweight Jordan Mein credits family for helping him find balance
TORONTO — Just 27, Canadian welterweight Jordan (Young Gun) Mein already has 40 pro fights and one retirement under his belt.
A new father and refreshed fighter after a break from the sport, Mein (29-11-0) continues his comeback in Las Vegas at UFC 213 on Saturday when he takes on American Belal (Remember the Name) Muhammad (11-2-0).
Mein, a native of Lethbridge, Alta., is happily training and “living the dad life.” Daughter Olivia is some seven months old and regularly accompanies him to the gym.
“I’m back to the healthy lifestyle,” he said. “That plays a big factor in where your mind’s at, how you’re physically feeling and all of the above.”
