"I was a junior hockey player from the time I was like 14 to 20. Smack talk does not do anything to me. I started playing junior hockey against men when I was 14 years old. So I'm more than used to that and more than used to receiving it."
"I spent a majority of my twenties with my wife. We were just flipping houses and had a trade and started a family. I think it was maybe like the fourth or fifth house I flipped, and my wife asked me if we could go traveling overseas because I did it when I was a kid."
"I'd finally finished everything on the house, put it up for sale, sold it, left the dogs with her parents. And we backpacked the South Pacific for the better part of three months with a four and a two year old girls at the time."
Keanan Patershuk prepares to face Hunter Lee for the vacant Unified MMA middleweight title. Patershuk's unconventional path to MMA began with junior hockey from ages 14-20, where he developed resilience to trash talk. After hockey, he spent his twenties with his wife flipping houses and building a trade business while raising a family. The couple decided to backpack the South Pacific for three months with their two young daughters. During the return journey from Hawaii, Fiji, and Australia, his wife prompted him to reconsider his life direction, leading him toward MMA.
