Lola the bare-knuckle drag queen
Martial arts kept Diego Garijo out of jail, but drag artistry made him whole.
Diego Garijo was bullied for his femininity as a child, so as he grew up he toughened up his image. He was in trouble with the law, until he found his focus as a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter. But when Diego鈥檚 career came to a brutal halt, creating a drag persona, Lola, gave him a new lease of life.
