Ugas, who modestly says that he dances “a bit,” prefers Salsa, though he recently posted a short training clip of him breaking out into some Hip Hop moves to Future’s “Stick Talk.” Despite the oppressive heat or the constant tumbao rhythms of the congas that he heard everywhere as a youth, he knew what he wanted to do since the first time he watched a boxing match.
