Ottawa fighter Mark Holst returns in Muay Thai main event at Lion Fight 30
Mark (Boots) Holst says he never retired from fighting, rather that he took a break while switching jobs at his Ottawa-area gym.
Holst became a manager of the Carleton Place arm of the Ottawa Academy of Martial Arts.
“The training kind of stepped down a little bit but I wanted to always stay sharp, stay strong if a fight popped up,” said the former UFC fighter.
Opportunity finally knocked in the form of the Lion Fight Muay Thai promotion.
