July 14, 2021 Andre Fili - Part 1
Text me a question for the show
UFC featherweight veteran Andre Fili joins Brendan Fitzgerald on the newest episode of Fitz Nation.

Fili is coming off a disappoining 'no contest' result in his last fight, where he was showing arguably the best form of his career before an eye poke. He has been in the UFC a long time and really has come a long way since coming from a broken home in Washington state.

He has grown into a leader at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento and has much to be proud of, but of course, his focus is on the future and winning a UFC championship.

Text me a question for the show
Hey folks! Decided to pull together a few memorable clips from the first half of this year. I believe the show has found a groove and I'm proud to have a solid foundation of what I want the style of these interviews to be.

I hope that together, we can learn from the great athletes, coaches and people connected to the UFC in what has helped them achieve and what they're hoping for next.

In this episode:
Kevin Holland on the unique relationship with his parents.
Marlon "Chito" Vera on the benefits of being an immigrant.
Dominick Cruz on what allowed him to succeed in the fight game.

June 23, 2021 Santiago Ponzinibbio has done everything to keep the dream going
Text me a question for the show
Santiago Ponzinibbio is a welterweight in the UFC and one of the sport's most aggressive fighters. He recently returned to the win column after a lengthy absence due to injury which included an infection that threatened his entire career.

From Argentina, Ponzinibbio's story is a wild ride that started with a 30-hour bus trip to Brazil, where he lived in a tent just to try to start training MMA and start becoming a fighter. He found himself on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil and made his way to the UFC, climbing the rankings to the top 10. He's knocking on the door of the top 10 again as he looks to build a case for a title shot.

June 16, 2021 Julian Erosa will keep competing with himself
Text me a question for the show
Julian Erosa is a featherweight in the UFC and coming off back-to-back stoppage wins. It's been quite a road back to the UFC for Erosa. At one point, he was a castmate on The Ultimate Fighter. After an initial stint in the UFC, going 1-1, he was released.

He returned to fight on Dana White's Contender Series in 2018. Despite a highlight reel win, he wasn't awarded a contract that night. He did eventually make it back to the UFC, but circumstances weren't the best and the results weren't there.

Now, he's put together the best form of his career and looks to continue the upward trend!

June 02, 2021 Frank Camacho knew the fighting life was what he wanted to chase
Text me a question for the show
Frank Camacho has fought at both lightweight and welterweight in the UFC. No matter where or when he fights, it's proven to be exciting as evidenced by his 3 straight Fight of the Night bonuses to start his UFC career.

A native of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, he talks about his island upbringing, why he became a fighter instead of a golfer and what it means beyond the money to get a UFC bonus.

He's set to get back in action next week at UFC 263 in Glendale, Arizona against Matt Frevola.

May 19, 2021 Alan Jouban was a late starter, but knew it was UFC or bust
Text me a question for the show
Alan Jouban just recently retired after being a UFC welterweight contender for the last 10 years. Just fighting in the UFC was quite an accomplishment, as he had no training or experience in martial arts until well into his 20s.

Alan talks about his upbringing in Lafayette, Louisiana, trying to find a passion and then discovering martial arts. Fight fans will continue to see him on UFC broadcasts as he has joined our team as a desk analyst on UFC pre and post-fight coverage.
