Brad Kohler once fought for the Ultimate Fighting Championship in the pre-Zuffa era.
In the present day, he has big political aspirations in his home state. Kohler recently announced in a press release that he will be running for governor in Minnesota.
“Many of you know me as a former UFC heavyweight professional fighter and three-time MMA world champion,” Kohler stated. “Since then, I have been recognized as an author, inventor, small business owner and mentor. From the experiences in my life, the family values and standards I hold myself to, and my business background, I believe I am the best candidate for this office.
