You've heard of WWE, you've heard of UFC, you've seen the renaissance of Australian boxing with the Tszyu brothers - now it's time to cheer on the Australians in ONE CHAMPIONSHIP.

The Betoota Advocate talks to Sydney's Isi Fitikefu about his upcoming bout against Hiroyuki “Japanese Beast” Tetsuka in ONE’s welterweight MMA division on September 6.

This is Isi's first podcast interview, and it shows by his shyness with the early questions. But by about halfway through, he's on fire. Giving us the run down on his teenage journey to Australia from the harsh suburbs of South Auckland, initially with plans to play NRL. Again, it was his shyness that kept him out the MMA gym, even when the teachers, footy coaches, and wrestling coaches could see his natural talent as a fighter. But he's not shy anymore, and as he reveals in this interview - he wants a belt bad.
