'Triathlon is forefront, but I'll always be a martial artist'

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

Paul Felder had a long, successful career as an MMA fighter. So how did he come to terms with putting an end to what he loved? He decided to dedicate himself to a new sport, triathlon. Felder, who works part-time as a commentator and analysist for the UFC, says MMA is still in his blood but triathlon is his new "obsession". He's also working with the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), a new body seeking to professionalise the sport, who are documenting his swim, bike and run to the top on YouTube.
