Kevin Belingon says that helping his teammates kept him sharp despite lengthy hiatus from action
The Lions Nation MMA representative also spoke with The MMA Superfan for an interview and he revealed that he was still active despite being out of action for over two years now.
Kevin Belingon said that he was still sharp during this period because he was busy helping his teammates prepare for their respective fights, as he stated:
"I think both feelings were fighting each other. But I really wanted to get back in the game, so I kept training and didn't waste that time. I knew I also had to help my other teammates who were fighting. So at least I stayed active in training and just poured out all my stress on the punching bag."
