In this episode of Excessive Rumination I'm joined by the show's first guest, all the way from New York City via the magic of the internet, Jonathan Brookins.

Jonathan is a professional MMA fighter who won the 12th Season of the reality TV show The Ultimate Fighter, in 2010.

In this episode we chat about Jonathan's early career, why he became a fighter, his experience fighting for the world's largest MMA promotion (the UFC) and his spiritual pilgrimage to India after a skid of back-to-back losses in 2011.
