The Inside Look of a Pro MMA Fighter’s Journey

Pro athletes know that taking care of their health and well-being is of utmost priority. When a serious injury occurs, their career is on the line. It can be a threatening and unpredictable situation that every athlete dreads. Every pro athlete wants to know they can go to a trustworthy, reliable, highly-experienced sports medicine doctor that can guide them in the right direction and offer them the proper medical treatments for their injury in an era where “snake-oil doctors” are running rampant.

Evan Gubera is a pro MMA fighter based out of San Jose, CA, and is currently under regenerative cell treatment with the Goswami Clinic in Newport Beach, CA.

Before he turned pro in 2016, he was ranked in the Top 10 of California Amateur MMA fighters. He has been in martial arts now for 20 years. Besides competing, Evan runs a competitive amateur boxing program where his kids and adult students compete all over California. He is on the American Kickboxing Academy’s professional team and has been training alongside UFC Veterans Daniel Cormier, Luke Rockwood, Josh Thompson, and Cain Velasquez the past 3 years.

Evan had the great honor of being trained and coached by famous Coach Walter “POPS” Carvalho as his main pupil and prodigy during his last couple years of coaching. The boxing program he is currently running was handed down to Evan by Coach “POPS,” which was an even greater honor for him today.

Right before Evan’s awaited professional debut fight, he blew out his knee 10 days prior. He shares his story in this video:
