We all know Michael Chiesa as a UFC contender, previously in the lightweight division and now in the welterweight division.  We know him as a standout grappler and winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Live to get into the UFC.

But what we didn't know until now is his tumultuous childhood and journey to becoming a fighter.  He pays homage to his grandfather, who died tragically and suddenly.  He talks about the relationship he had with his mother, and why he needed to make a change to his living situation just before he turned 16.  And, he talks about the relationship he had with his father and the heartbreak of losing him while he was in Las Vegas for The Ultimate Fighter.

Fitz catches up with UFC lightweight Jared Gordon.

Jared is a recovering addict who has used his UFC platform to help others struggling with drugs and alcohol.  He is incredibly open about his journey, starting with being the victim of a sexual assault when he was just 9-years-old.

In his early teenage years, a massive fire in New York City destroyed his father's business, losing the family millions of dollars and causing their lives to be completely turned upside down.

It was then that Jared got heavily involved in drugs.  Incredibly, he also took up MMA and had a natural gift after boxing and wrestling while in school.

His amazing journey will have you dropping your jaw for the entire episode.
