There’s not much more that middleweight prospect Puna Soriano can do to improve upon the start he has had so far in his career.
Over the course of four fights in two years, Soriano has not only managed to go undefeated, but he’s been able to pick up first round finishes in each of his bouts.
“I feel like I have been performing pretty well,” Soriano told MMAWeekly.com. “I always go in with the mindset to finish and try to put it on my opponent every second of the fight. I’m looking for the finish and I’ve been able to execute so far.”
Not only has his overall game grown the past two years, but having come from a wrestling background, Soriano feels like he’s made particular strides in his striking during his development.
“I hate watching my old fights, actually,” said Soriano. “I feel I’ve made leaps and bounds with every fight. I think it’s good to watch old fights, but it’s cringe-y because I’m so bad.
“I feel like my striking for sure has come a long ways since I first started. I feel like wrestlers have a little harder time learning the striking, so I’m pretty proud of myself and what I’ve done.”
