On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk with BKFC light heavyweight Cody "The Knucklemaniac" Vidal about his 5-round war with David Simpson that ripped his septum clean out the socket, why he skipped the hospital, and how hypnotherapy pulled him out of a dark spot 30 years in the making. Cody gets into his wild training resume with Johnny Hendricks, Kamaru Usman, Sean Strickland, Fabricio Werdum and the King's MMA crew, plus the mental game that took him from suicidal to stacking wins. He breaks down why he thinks BKFC is a satanic ritual he's flipping on its head, how government means "mind control," and why he'd fight Lorenzo Hunt for free. Plus his May 22nd showdown with Jomi Esco in Palm Desert and why the world is asleep at the wheel.
