A Serra BJJ Black Belt, coach at Serra's and Longos's MMA, professional MMA fighter, Valhalla Fights founder and podcast host, John is a one-of-a-kind human being. It was a pleasure to catch up with him and an hour is never enough! Hope you guys enjoy this episode.

Another in-studio visit from friend, training partner and rising MMA fighter, Tom "Beethoven" DiGennaro. The young martial artist lives the spartan lifestyle; training; coaching; competing. Those he is a killer on the mats and in the cage, Tom is one of the most genuine and in-tuned human beings I have ever met and is part of a great family! Pay attention to 'Beethoven' as the future is bright!

Always a great time talking with my fellow video gamer, Christian Carlo (IG: crs354_). When the Mutant MMA product is not plugging into PS5 he's beating up people in the cage. Christian is part of one of the fastest-rising gyms in the NY area. Mutant MMA is the future and it's because of true martial artists like Christian.

Had a really chill convo with Flex Fight Series fighter, Chris Van Dunk (IG: vanny.mma), following his 90-second performance in his second amateur MMA fight. Chris is a young killer with a bright future. He has a great support system around him and I won't be surprised when he becomes a successful professional fighter! **my apologies for my low audio level

On this episode I recap the UFC 306 which was the UFC's highest-grossing gate. Also talking about how quietly Matt Serra and Ray Longo have built a powerhouse team. Plus, The Sphere vs Outdoor Stadium.

One of the most well-rounded people I have ever talked with is my next guest, Freddy "The Barbarian" Vidal (soo_amazing). Freddy is not only a professional MMA fighter ready to make his presence felt on Oct. 18th for LFA, but he is also a teacher and owner of a master's degree. What's most impressive is his faith and patience in his plan. I'm truly am excited to see what awaits this talented individual!

A brief preview of Brady vs Burns, Yuneisy Duben scores huge KO at DWCS, and a couple of rants...

Had an amazing sit down conversation with one of the most humble people I have ever spoken with. Amir Lamdan, nice guy and owner/founder of “Buff On A Budget” and “Lamdan Strength & Nutrition” has an extensive resume and is a guru that is fueling the best and baddest professional athletes. Lamdan, a black belt under former UFC champion Matt Serra, is also the co-owner of Lighthouse BJJ in Hewlett, NY.
