‘Night Train’ Julian Lane’s career
The Ultimate Fighter Season 16 in 2012 hosted competitor Julian Lane. On the show he coined his most iconic moment when he got into a drunken brawl, began crying, and yelled “let me f****** bang, bro!” Regarding this incident, a decade later he would tell MMA Junkie in 2022 that he was quite embarrassed by the whole incident. He said:
“It was a bad dream, it was a nightmare for many years of my life and then it finally actually turned into my life. It was something that I couldn’t control. Once it happened, it happened. You can’t go back and erase the past. You just have to live in the present and make the best of it and that’s what I’m doing, baby.”
Lane has an official MMA record of 12-10-1 and has begun competing in bare-knuckle boxing. In BKFC, he has earned a record of 4-7-0. There he competed against fighters such as Leonard Garcia, Thiago Alves, plus had a bloody brawl against ‘Platinum’ Mike Perry at KnuckleMania 2.
