In The Gym: Newton on Newton

One of the most cerebral fighters in mixed martial arts, 29-year-old Carlos Newton (Pictures) offered a unique window into his fighting mind on what was thought to be the eve of his return to competition after nearly two years away from the ring.

Though the recent announcement about his removal from the HERO's 85-kilogram tournament is disappointing, this Sherdog Insider exclusive with Freddie DeFreitas, which Newton treated as a virtual video diary, still offers great insight about the former UFC welterweight champion.

It's also an opportunity to watch Newton spar on the floor and on the feet.
