Are Team Iridium's Agents Making Resolutions For 2021?

LAS VEGAS — Now that 2020 is a thing of the past and 2021 is in full swing, #TeamIridium's management team revealed if they're setting any new year's resolutions.

Raul Arvizu

“Being in Latin America, the road to the UFC is difficult. Working with Iridium, I’d like to see three to five of our Latin American fighters signing with the UFC in 2021.”

Jason House

“As exciting as it can be to set a new year's resolution, the only thing that's changed is the year. Whether it's 2021 or 2020, my goals are the same. Always strive to improve myself and the lives of others every single day, make the most of my time by giving back in a meaningful way, and remember to enjoy the process of working with so many amazing, hard working people.”

Ed Kapp

"I take tremendous joy in being a part of the Team Iridium family, and I know the great times will continue in 2021. I'm excited to develop even better relationships with our clients and continue working hard to be a valuable asset to them. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us."

Jeremy Luchau

"Empower the team by investing in growth and development."

Jacob Parga

"My resolution this year is to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Help bring success to my family, team, clients, and relationship. Enjoy the wins, but never forget there is more to be done."

Lance Spaude

“I tend to stay away from new year's resolutions. I have found that they typically are short lived and never committed to actual, long-lasting change. With that said, I focus on growing as a representative of our clients and as a person every day. In the new year I will diligently continue to improve on my daily growth.”

Joe Wooster

"I don’t really believe in them. If something is important enough, one wouldn’t wait for a certain date to make a change. That being said, I've been training really hard and I'm excited to defend my Midwest taco-eating championship in the summer!"
