The student-run club has struggled during the COVID-19 shutdown of campus activities, but the love of the sport still burns.
EAST LANSING, Mich. – When Zachary Lockerman came to Michigan State University as a transfer student, he looked around his first Sparticipation event for a club that could align with his love for combat sports.
“I was trying to find boxing when I found the MMA (mixed martial arts) club stall, and they said to come check us out,” said Lockerman, who is a native of Delaware.
And the rest is history.
“I didn’t want to get into the wrestling aspect at first, but they said they do boxing, and I didn’t have to do anything else,” he said. “So, I took their brochure, and the rest is history.”
