Gabriel Checco plays many roles in life: fighter, father, husband, Uber driver, security guard and more.

Checco’s hope is that one day he can whittle the number of jobs down to just one. He’ll get a chance to get after that dream on July 25 when he competes in front of UFC president Dana White as part of the UFC’s Contender Series.

The Brazilian training out of Xtreme Couture will face Chase Waldon and hope to impress and score a contract with the UFC.
