"I've found success by leaning on my team, soaking up every little detail they show me—that's how I got to this point."
After putting together a strong 2020 campaign, fans of combat sports should have plenty to look forward to from Lainesse in 2021. Whether it's Dana White's Contender Series or the next installment of The Ultimate Fighter, he has multiple paths in front of him.
"My goal is to challenge for the welterweight championship at CFFC. I want that title—it's something I really value—and it's the bridge that gets me into the UFC. I'll pick up another win, move to 6-0, and make myself impossible to ignore," Lainesse explained.
"Ideally, I build up to an 8-0 record, defend that belt, and then step into the UFC where there's no room to argue against it."
Having just inked a contract extension, Yohan Lainesse is currently in discussions with the organization to lock in a March matchup.
