RIP Paul Varlens, early NHB pioneer passed away due to Covid-19 complications today. He actually lived in the South Bay Area during his fighting career and our paths crossed a few times. Funny story, but I’ve never asked anyone for their autograph EVER, but I wound up asking for one from Paul. Thought I would share that story in a little tribute to him…
