Hello and welcome to EPISODE 37 of the MOOD SWINGS podcast! This week my guest is local amateur MMA fighter, MATTHEW MALLON. Matty fights out of local gym Aberdeen Fitness and Combat Centre and in this interview he takes us through his experiences in competitive fighting and the effects of this on mental health, fight preparation, weight cutting and dieting as well as discussing his time served in the army and the toll that these experiences have taken on him. Massive thanks to Matty for his openness and honesty!
