Exclusive Interview With Justin “The Mortal Sin” Linn

Justin Linn has been out of MMA for over 17 months. Once lauded as a top prospect with some success in Resurrection Fighting Alliance (RFA) in 2014, Justin had a string of tough losses. His last fight being a unanimous decision loss against Cody Gibson in April of 2016. His second straight loss in as many bouts bringing his overall record to 7-3. Leaving some to wonder if he was hanging up the gloves for good.

On Saturday September 23rd, Justin steps back into the cage for what is by far the biggest opportunity of his career. A fight against someone who many consider the most hyped prospect of all time. Aaron Pico (0-1), who is coming off of his Pro debut loss to Zach Freeman (9-2), back in June.

Before the fight I was able to sit down with Justin Linn and talk about the fight, what it’s like taking on someone with the hype of Aaron Pico, and what does he think his future in the sport looks like.
